Christmas giveaways

When I was growing up I would do my Christmas shopping on my favorite store, Woolworths. The stores are long gone now but I remember them fondly. Every year they had different Christmas coloring books to buy and lots of Christmas decorations. They also sometimes had Christmas giveaways for children, such as this booklet.
