Christmas Manners: Put out a few decorations before the guests arrive.


Suburban Chicago, December 1965. My Mom and her best friend, Donna, enjoy the Christmas cheer at a friend's home. Mom wears a suit she knitted. At the edge of the shot, on the far right, rests Mom's knitting bag. She must have thought she'd be able to sneak in a few rows during the party.

That teak table is gorgeous!

Is that the home of Mr and Mrs B? The sofa looks familiar, but I don't remember the table...

It is the B home. There are more photos from that party.

I agree about the coffee table. The table we have now looks Iike a poor imitation of it.
