Eaton's 1973 Christmas Catalogue

Another Christmas catalogue from my childhood.

Christmas Tree Topper

We had a tree top similar to this one as you can see in the photo of our very sad looking Christmas tree from the late 60's.

Santa Mug

We had a mug like this but I don't remember anyone ever using it. It was always in the cupboard above the fridge.

Mistletoe

Ah, the classy plastic mistletoe that we used to hang every year. We always hung it in the doorway leading from the hallway to the living room. One year we even got a picture of Mom & Dad kissing underneath it.

Stained Glass Angel Ornament

These were not real stained glass, but plastic. We had a few of them on our tree, I thought they were cute.

Plastic Santa Ornament

I remember this on our tree, I think it held candy at one point. I don't ever remember seeing candy in it and I don't know where it came from. Probably our aunt next door.

Candle Perfume Bottle

I got this bottle of perfume one year for Christmas, it came from Avon. The label says Sweet Honesty Cologne.....I am sure I was sweet and honest when I was a teenager.

1976 Sears Christmas Catalogue

Who remembers this catalogue? The Sears Christmas catalogue was an important part of our Christmas. We couldn't wait for it to arrive and by the time Christmas came pages were falling out.

Ornaments

These ornaments could have been taken right off our tree when I was growing up. I think we had one like every one in the picture.

Avon Boot Perfume Bottle

I got this for Christmas one year, I must have got it from a friend or classmate. I don't remember what the perfume was like at all.

3-D Ornaments

We had a couple of ornaments like this....put two flat pieces together to made a round ornament. Hi-tech!

Noel Fork & Spoon

This was hung on our front door every Christmas. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a giant plastic fork and spoon, right?

Reindeer

My aunt had flocked "velvet" reindeer like these that she put in her window each Christmas. They were cute!

Bucket of Christmas Candy

I am too young to remember this candy but apparently every year my older brother and sisters would get a big bucket of candy each for Christmas. That tradition must have been stopped when I got older because I don't remember getting a bucket of candy. The can was for sale on eBay (empty) and you can see a bucket in this old Christmas photo, taken in 1967. I am the sad looking girl looking down at my younger sister.

Ornament

We had a couple of ornaments like this on our tree when I was growing up. I think my sister still has one of them.

Candy Tree

My aunt had a candy display tree like this one. The box says "crystal tree" but it was plastic. She put it out every Christmas on her dining room table. I think she usually had jelly candies on it, the kind coated with sugar.

Angel Ornament

We had a couple of ornaments like this, in different colours too I think.

Christmas Smurf

Either I or my sister owned a Smurf like this.....holding a candy cane. Smurfs were very popular in the 80's; I was in high school when one of us got this for Christmas.

Pink Ornaments

My aunt who lived next door had ornaments like this on her tree. I thought they were elegant and beautiful.

Santa, Reindeer & Sleigh

We had a Santa just like this one, it would always go hung up in the middle of the living room picture window.
