A Christmas tradition La Guignolee gathers gifts for Quebec’s poor through door to door pleas by Les Guignoleurs. Since 1901 Commercial Travelers Club of Quebec has led the effort dressed as trappers singing for alms. Early customs used threats of abducting the eldest daughter, later shifting to gifts loaded in carts as groups met in villages.
A set of handwritten Christmas requests from several children asks Santa for gifts including a talking monkey, Barbie items, View-Masters, games, dolls, a Batmobile, a digger, a typewriter, skates, and patterns. Names include Kellie Kammeyer, Debbie Sassman, Linda, Jill Klein, Charlene Bruns, Jo Ellen Miller, Jo Ellen Miller, Dixie Lampe, with milk and cookies promised.
For twenty years the Quebec aid drive has collected money rather than goods. Donations reach as high as 30000 dollars and are deposited in a bank. Parish priests issue checks to aid the city's needy regardless of religious denomination.
