We actually had one of
these! And there was a little spinning blade that turned before the light bulb
to give the illusion of flickering flames!
Every Christmas the candy
dishes would come out with the Ribbon Candy! And not just peppermint either but
an entire rainbow of head ache and tooth ache inducing confection!
We had a couple of these
flaked plastic marvels, among them the snowman!
It wasn't Christmas season
until the Sear and Roebucks (and then just Sears) catalogue arrived. Talk about
your kiddie porn--from a kid's point of view!
Bells like this were opened
and hung every year over windows. The replaced the honeycomb paper turkeys that
had replaced the honeycomb paper pumpkins!
And the foam was sprayed
from an aerosol can. Precursor of
silly string, no doubt.
There were years when our tree looked like this one, too!
