Let’s Visit Christmas 1958!

Once again, let’s go to the Sears Wishbook and visit a time long ago when things were simpler…

Here’s the cover…flocked tree, pretty ornaments!

Let’s all get dressed for the big event! From Dad to Baby Doll, we all look silly!  And nothing was flame retardant, so Dad could light us all up with his cigarette!  I guess mom was taking this picture…

Actually, Dad liked it better when mom wore one of these…

And mom brought his slippers…

Here’s our tree!  Who wouldn’t kill for this? Five feet and six inches of net, with glass ornaments and star included.

Let’s add some ornaments…

Let’s decorate the yard…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, let’s open some gifts…ooh, aprons for mom, dad and junior homemaker in training!

A little something for Bobby…

          A little something for Sally…(I want the red sofa and chair…)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How about some crafty stuff and some rocket and space stuff for Tommy?  He’s all into that men in space thing.

A little something for the house…

Oh, and let’s not forget to send cards!

 

Whew!  What a day!  Let’s all get into our other new jammies and have some fruitcake!

Are YOU done Christmas shopping yet?

I’m not!
