Ever wonder what Santa would do without his elves?
The Sears Wishbook.
Just make a list.
Check it twice.
Then call 1-800-366-3000.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Every order is backed by Sears, and Sears delivers anywhere.
Of course, the elves would never leave Santa holding the bag.
But it's nice to know he has a backup plan.
At Sears, we have a policy on climbing Mount Everest.
Winning the World Series.
Finding stuff and treasure.
Cattle drives to Adeline.
Exploring other galaxies.
And researching the effects of gravity.
One that says should any of the participants in such activities wear out clothing purchased from Sears
before they've grown out of it, Sears will replace it free.
A policy otherwise known as KidVantage, which even provides frequent purchase discounts
to help you save on the things they'll need for their future adventures.
KidVantage. Another reason why we say you can count on me.
Kids love to dream about flying through the sky with E.T.

I'm a fun day at Sears!
Hey, Miss Sisson! Billy Holmes?
I'm fine, Matthew. How are you?
Dude!
Dude! Righteous sister!
Huh? Where'd you get it, man?
What?
I said, where'd you get the tune machine?
I can't hear you, kid! I got it in stereo!
I'm a fun day at Sears!
The Sears Family Theater presentation of E.T. will continue.
Imagine a billion people cheering at the same time.

But what he taught me about tools, well, that was gospel.
He'd say, kid, you buy a Craftsman tool, you only buy it once in your lifetime.
Yeah, he knew his tools all right, and I've never bought anything but Craftsman.
That's a lot of my tools. I didn't have to buy it all.
1600 Craftsman hand tools, made in America, guaranteed forever.
Hey, Jimmy, it's time to teach you something about tools.
