I got the little box of Kleenex and I have to say that when I saw it I was immediately taken back to when I was 5 years old.

For Christmas Santa brought me a store. It was a cardboard store frame where I could stand behind the cut out window and run the cash register that came with it. I still have that cash register. It's metal and works well. Some time through the years I lost the fake money.

The store also came with a metal shopping cart, child-size. AND, the really cool things were the products that could be picked up off the store shelves and put in the cart. They were empty boxes, of course, but the actual product boxes, again in child size. I remember SOS pads, Grapenuts, butter, bacon....all kinds of products and lots of them.

When I saw the little box of Kleenex today it reminded me of that wonderful gift Santa brought me over 55 years ago.

I'm still smiling.

Dang, guess I missed the post-it freebies. Got a big bag of Johnsonville mini-summer sausage packets, 6 packets with probably 5 little pieces in each one! And some skin cream thing I haven't really checked out. And my son got the little kleenex package I sent with the message, and he got the breakfast bar thing from walmart.

What a great story!! I have to admit the Kleenex box was so cute, I haven't used mine either. Thought it would be nice to set out at Christmas.

Your cash register is probably worth some bucks. They don't make stuff out of metal anymore. I have my little typewriter and also a Coke machine. I cherish them both!
