Playboy magazine’s Christmas subscription advertisements appeared regularly in early winter issues. Hearth-warming Playmates in festive poses inspired readers to make Playboy part of their gift-giving tradition. And with a seasonal pitch like this from November 1973, who could resist stuffing his stocking with more than one yearly subscription at eight dollars a pop? “And every way he looks at it…Playboy has everything he wants in his magazine. Beginning with the annual spectacular 20th Anniversary Issue in January, he’ll view the best works of the most prestigious writers, artists, cartoonists and photographers. And every month, another captivating Centerfold Playmate, like Julie Woodson. And you’ll save money, too!”
