A 1950s Christmas display at the National Christmas Center near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, features Jimmy, his sister, and Santa Claus. The jolly old gent is looking closely at Jimmy's note—"Dear Santa, please pause here"—which refers to the bottle of Coca-Cola ("the pause that refreshes") that Jimmy left for Santa on the mantelpiece.
The kids are so surprised at seeing Santa that they haven't even noticed the unwrapped toys, including a Blockhead! party game box, that he's left for them underneath the Christmas tree.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth . . . and maybe also a vintage Nylint Aerial Hook-N-Ladder toy fire truck in its original packaging.
This was located in the F. W. Woolworth's 5 and 10 Cent Store display at the wonderfully furnished National Christmas Center near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when I visited in 2009.
