Really, Santa? I have a feeling that you probably got a swift slap from Mrs. Claus for promoting this bath scale back in 1958.

OLD-TIMEY CHRISTMAS TINSEL
Recently, I picked up two neat old tinsel boxes. Love the graphics on these and double love the oxymoron fireproof icicles!

SANTA CALLING FROM GRANTS DEPARTMENT STORE
I don't have any memories of ever visiting a Grants department store, but that didn't stop me from picking up this swell 1970s Christmas coloring book a couple of weeks ago. According to the seller, this one was handed out at the Grant's department store in the now extinct Antioch Shopping Center in Kansas City.
The seller included this Grants ruler. Not sure if it originally came with the coloring book, but it's still a cool artifact from the lost department store.
Click here to view a couple of 1970s Grants interior photos. One is of the candy aisle! (Be sure to scroll down to the middle of the page to view.)
Anyone have any memories of Grants?

CURTISS CHRISTMAS CANDY BOX
Here's a fun Curtiss Candy box that was once a gift to a lucky boy, named Daryl. My guess is that this is from the 1950s. It amazes me that it still has the cellophane window stocking intact!
Be sure to check out my pal Jason's candy blog, CollectingCandy.com for his 12 Days of Christmas! He's celebrating all things Christmas candy!
