"The Archives of Ontario Remembers an Eaton's Christmas"
http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/exhibits/eatons/index.html

Watch the 1953 Eaton's Santa Claus Parade on video; colour in a 1960 Parade
colouring book; press your nose against some of the Christmas display
windows from 1955; listen to 9 year old Mary read her letter to Santa and
read how Eaton's "Santa" responded in 1958.  View images from Christmas
catalogues, Punkinhead storybooks, and Eaton's Toyland - all from the T.
Eaton Co. fonds held at the Archives of Ontario.  Send us your memories of
how Eaton's touched your past Christmases and we'll add them to the exhibit.

The exhibit will run through this Christmas season until the end of January.


The Archives of Ontario wishes all its aao-list colleagues a happy and
healthy holiday season.
