This little Santa (left with only one eye now) brings back a wonderful memory from one of my childhood Christmases:
One year, my Mother took my brother and me on the bus, to the
Woolworth's store, at our local Shopping Center.
We each got to pick out one Christmas ornament to take home.
After that, we were treated to lunch at the Soda Fountain inside the store.
I specifically remember the red upholstered chrome stools at the counter
. . . and maybe something about a grilled cheese sandwich accompanied
by a root beer float.
