More Vintage Christmas Ads!

 

Well here we are again, just a few days away from the Miracle

of Christmas & I'm thinking...'What would be a fun thing to

blog about?', when I remember one of my most popular

posts was the one I did 3 years ago on...

Vintage Christmas Ads!

 

They always make me smile & even provide a few Holiday

chuckles, which is always appreciated right about now.

 

For example, look at the wonderment & joy all the street goers

have when they see this top of the line, Smith Corona typewriter.

It's reminds me of walking by the Apple store today & look at

the little girl. She's so darned excited, she's got her nose

pressed up against the window! That's a secretary

in training without a doubt, right!

 

 

This ad is truly appropriate, because really...who wouldn't want a Rolex

for Christmas. I would just like a Rolex before I die,  although I'm

quite sure THAT will never happen. The part of this ad that

is disturbing for me, is that I'm pretty sure this gentleman

is stalking someone under the Christmas Star!

 

Now, I know I'm being very paranoid & I DO watch way to much of

the Investigation Discovery channel...but look at the scene. He's

dressed all in black, he's wearing gloves, he's got binoculars,

it's pitch black outside & he's lookin at his new Rolex.

Something's up here people, just sayin!

 

 

 The gift of a Holiday Ham, I totally get it. What says Christmas

better then a choice cut of pork? I watched 'Christmas With

The Kranks' & that's REAL!

 

 

Oh, I just had to include this ad cuz I NEVER knew how much

fun TAPE could be. That's right, TAPE! All the movie stars

& celebrities have it & they're decorating EVERYTHING

with this amazing sticky stuff. You can even tape all of

your Christmas cards on to your tree,

way to go BING!

 

 

From my last post we all know how much cigarettes are loved &

wished for by everyone on your Christmas List. I mean the slogan

says it all...'Make it a Happy Go Lucky Christmas! Give

cartons of Luckies!' Well, I couldn't imagine wanting

anything more, that is except for...

 

 

a new ZIPPO Lighter!!! Look at the joy the shop owner has playin

with fire with those cute little kiddos! How old do you think

those little guys are?? Maybe 5 & 7...you're never too

young to learn about how to work a ZIPPO.

 

 

 These kids are even YOUNGER, standing at the door of their parents

room early Christmas morning, each with a personalized ZIPPO

lighter for Mom & Dad. Even the dog looks excited! Looks

like little Johnny may have been practicing with his. I

hope they don't hear any fire trucks in the background,

as they frolic with their holiday cigs & flames. ;)

 

Even though white twinkle lights ALWAYS make everything

look better, I still love the glow of a hot, colored bulb on an

old tinseled Christmas tree. I can remember burning my

arm on them when I'd be decorating the tree, but

who cares, hot or not, they looked Great!

 

 

Even today, the gift of a Holiday FILL UP is probably one

of the most prized gifts a person can receive. Yes, the prices

are dropping, but there is still nothing like saying, 'Filler

up with Ethel' at 50 cents a gallon & not even having

to get out of the car. Ahhh, those WERE the days! 

 

 

Oh my GOODNESS, you bet I'll never forget the Christmas I

got my first Cadillac. That's cuz it NEVER happened &

I'm pretty sure it won't be happening any time soon.

But one can always hope & of course, ask Santa

again next year! DREAM BIG!!

 

And last but not least, a Christmas wish from someone

we all love & respect...

 

 

Happy Holidays from OJ Simpson & the words that will go down in

infamy. "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." And we did

my friends, we certainly did. LOL

 

I hope you enjoyed our blast from the past with all of the Wonderful

Vintage Christmas Ads & if you'd like to see my 1st post like this,

you can find it here. Dearest friends, I'm wishing you a Holiday

filled with LOVE & Laughter & a New Year Blessed

with PEACE. Big Hugs....

 

XOXO
