I grew up in Cols, Oh and the thing to do was to go to downtown Lazarus Dept store and see Santa and Mr. Tree. The store window displays were beautiful- very Dickensish and you could follow the Christmas path up the elevators to Sanat Land. In the waiting room, there was Mr. Tree welcoming you to Santa Land- A tree in which a person sat inside and he would talk to you. He also had a huge tounge that he stuck out in which you could shake hands! Funny!
Santa always left gifts out, he never wrapped them, but our family gifts were wrapped. (Later on, Santa also forgot to take the price tags off as Santa was too tired.) Our stockings were always on our bedroom doorknobs or bedposts to keep us amused if we woke up during the night...And we always went out to eat Chinese Christmas eve. Oh and watching all the Charlie Brown, Seasame Street, Rudolph tv specials.
