There’s real excitement in Power Tools!
I hope you all get what you want this Christmas, and that your holiday is merry and bright!! This guy seems a bit too pleased about his power tool, I dare say. Love dad and son’s matching plaid robes, to be certain!! And no tree is complete without covering every inch of green with shiny silver tinsel, eh?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Richmond Christmas Carols (and Christmas in the Early West)
‘Tis the season for holiday ephemera, starting with this excellent little booklet of carols from Richfield Oil Corporation. The richly illustrated centerfold tells (questionable) legends of how Christmas was celebrated in the wilderness of the Early West.
The illustrations are by the Canadian-born illustrator Neil Boyle (1931-2006).
