SANTA Cut-Out Figure from A. W. Nugent

December 16, 1948.  A Santa cut-out from A. W. Nugent.  You might be able to move from the "naughty list" to the "good list" if you start right this second, until Christmas, being extra good.  Cut out and color this Santa figure and use it as a reminder to be, in the words of Bertie Wooster, "a good egg".
