This time of year, nostalgia creeps up on not just history buffs, but everyone, it seems. A holiday potpourri from the HSoSC archives for your delight today.
Books for the kids for Christmas were the best!
Did your pencil box multiply too?
And poor Mom: this was her handmade gift from me.
Can you still smell the sulfur coming out of your brother’s room?
In your stocking, a decal to stick on your notebook.
And if you’d been extra good, a trip to Texas Jim’s was a treat!
From the Far North to our sunny shores, Christmas trees, ’cause it’s hard to hang tinsel on a palm.
Well, yes, we could, and did, improvise.
Santa’s busy picking oranges for all those Christmas stockings.
