Just when I think your newsletter can’t get more delightful… That photo of you with Santa is a gem. That tablecloth is a gem! *You’re* a gem.

[Jolene Handy]

You are! 💎 Thank you, Sarah!

[Joan DeMartin]

I heartily agree! And you do look both adorable and skeptical in that sweet photo.

[Jolene Handy]

Thank you, Joan!

Great story, Jolene. More of this, please! The smoking Santa is also a keeper. It shows how evil advertising can be.

You may want to try an equally humorous but slightly less happy Christmas-related tale:

Thank you, Gianni and thank you for this link!

I love this one, Jolene! I learn so much from you. And by the way, we live in Valatie, which started the Christmas Club and was the home of the girl who wrote the famous letter asking if Santa Claus was real. https://www.valatiesantaclausclub.com/history

Thank you, Jamie! This is so great, looking at the link now ❤️

[Ruth Stroud]

Such great stories well told with documentary pictures to boot! As Sarah said, this is another gem of a post!

[Jolene Handy]

Thank you, Ruth! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[Ruth Stroud]

Thanks, Jolene! We did! Hope you did too!

You are the best, Eddie ❤️

What a wonderful post! I really like the old Lucky Strike ad. My dad smoked Lucky Strike when I was a kid. Kept a pack rolled up in the sleeve of his shirt. Christmas just isn’t like it use to with all the push and pull over it. Oh for the good old days…

[Jolene Handy]

Thank you, Peggy, glad you enjoyed!
