December Message from Bill Anderson

This year we will once again be a Salvation Army Angel Tree location. The Angel Tree program helps give underprivileged kids a holiday gift that they would never receive without the generosity of others.

We have over 100 tags in the store attached to our tree in the front of the store and each one has an item listed for a child in the Naperville-Aurora area. You can take a tag or two and buy the requested present. Bring the gifts (unwrapped) to the store with the tag attached and the Salvation Army will pick up the gift, wrap it and make sure it gets to the child in time for Christmas.

This wonderful program has been helping out families for well over 40 years! In addition, if you buy a present here at Oswald’s for the Angel Tree program, we will discount any regular priced toy, game or book 25%! So if you are able, help make some child’s Christmas a little bit brighter!

To help add a little cheer to your season we are going to be having our annual Customer Appreciation Day on December 12th. Throughout the weekend we will be giving all customers 20% off all toys and 50% off all boxed Christmas cards.

We will also have a holiday drawing for prizes including an Oswald’s Gift Card, Playmobil sets, gift baskets and more! We will have a coloring contest for the kids and cookies, cider, coffee and tea. There will also be fun demonstrations of new gift items and ideas in the store. Drop on in for the fun and savings!

Merry Christmas to all!!

Bill
