Do you now or in the past belong to a Christmas club?

Many of my relatives made a five or ten dollar weekly commitment to the local bank in order to pay for Christmas gifts. I never did, but I was close to being a Scrooge...

That was about 100 years ago, Ralphy, that anyone did that!

I forgot all about Christmas clubs, Ralphy. Wish you could get 2% on savings now.

Hey, I go back to the days of buying stamps to fill books to buy war bonds...

When I had my paper route, a hundred years ago, I put 25 cents a week into a Christmas club. In November, I would get a check for $12.50. A lot of money for a kid to spend back then.

 

[Ralphy1]

Yep, and I bet you spent a lot of it on your mother's gift...

 

[Pappy]

You got it, Ralphy. Mom was at the top of my list.

As she should be in most cases. I had a Sunday route and dragged those big papers around in a wagon. Some Sunday's in the winter were awful to go out in, let alone deliver papers...

I never hear about "Christmas Clubs" anymore but do remember them. I never belonged to one when they were popular. Now Christmas is being with loved ones, not so much attention to gifts.
