Golden Magazine Christmas Annual '66

Just a few highlights from Golden Magazine's Christmas Annual 1966 issue, (featuring a sort "best of" from individual monthly issues going as far back a 1947) --over 100 pages of crafty fun, games, and everything christmas cheery! I recommend you find yourself a copy of this if you love incredible holiday inspired artwork! If I have time this week I'll have more from this issue up next...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Totally gorgeous as always! I'm sort of surprised how cool I find the St. Nick illustration with the single-file reindeer. That strikes me as pretty unique. Also, I like how Halloween is sneaking into the mix. Sure, the Scarlottles are messing things up, as usual; but it also seems like some really haunted trees have worked their way into the ice skating scene, too. Halloween town has the best Christmas hockey!

Last year I sourced a copy of the 1967 issue (only 2 pages torn out) that included a countdown with a story for each day of December leading up to the 25th.
Us kids grew up with those stories and the pages of that segment were saved via scanning by my sister 20 years ago.
Those magazines were special to our family and I'm sure to many others as well.
