DEC 17 1997: Security Life of Denver employee volunteers distributed gifts to children at the Rainbow House (3400 Bruce Randolph Blvd., Denver). Skeeter, 4, opens a package containing the gift they he asked for — a Tickle Me Elmo doll. Security Life’s mascot, a lion, dressed as Santa Paws, gave out the gifts. Security Life of Denver employees raised money for ONEDAY-The Family AIDS Project, which provides day care and counseling to Denver-based HIV positive families. Lyn Alweis, The Denver Post.
Yeah, the toy-of-the-year thing can create some ugly hysteria, but when deployed properly, Tickle Me Elmo and his ilk sure do seem to bring a lot of joy to kids. Thanks to Vickie Makings for supplying this photo.
