The picture appeared in 'JS Journal' November 1992 page 29. 'JS Journal' states "Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh may be a little more exotic than the presents people give nowadays, but then there hasn't always been a Sainsbury's to provide the most practical of Christmas goodies. Neither did the Three Wise Men have the opportunity to buy the colourful wrapping paper, Christmas cards and crackers available. The wrapping papers come in a multitude of different designs, which add to the excitement as the presents are put under the tree. An individual ten metre roll or a pack of four rolls can be bought, each a different design. JS has a vast selection of Christmas cards. Pop-up cards will enthrall the children, while Oxfam cards will remind people of the true meaning of Christmas. There are also cards that come in a beautiful reusable decorated box. Christmas dinner should always go with a bang. There is a wide selection of crackers available but a new addition to the range this year are Magic Crackers: each cracker contains a magic trick, along with the instructions. The adults can sit back and laugh as the children try to make objects disappear. For Boxing Day when the leftovers are brought out, JS has introduced a range of paper tableware to save on the washing up. There are two designs: a Christmas pattern, and a Santa and Penguin print. Plates, cups, tablecovers and napkins are available in both these ranges".
