Related by Marriage: Birthday Party

Children born during the holiday season—any time between Thanksgiving and the Feast of the Epiphany—make out well with birthday gifts. Parents and relatives worry that the holidays will overshadow the child's special day. They consequently celebrate the winter birthday in style.


Suburban Chicago, Winter 1964. Mr. Irene (the little guy with the bowtie and suspenders) enjoys his Birthday. From left to right are Aunt M, Aunt M's husband Wally, and Mr. Irene's Mom. Some cars with "fin" fenders appear through the window.
