Family

Getting together with family and friends is a holiday tradition.  31 days of Christmas, 1950s style.

Sparkly

My mom used to help her friend with Avon deliveries.  And as a result, her friend would give mom a discount on her own Avon orders.  This led to lots of Avon gifts for me, including this Christmas ornament.  Makes me think of mom.  31 days of Christmas.

Vividly

This image of my uncle from 1956 brings out the photography geek in me.  Having his own photography business, many of the images he and his wife took are gorgeous Kodachrome prints with "nice bright colors", as Paul Simon put it.  31 days of Christmas.

Quality

In 1983, I got this crocheted bell for being in the bell choir.  It was handmade by a special friend. 31 days of Christmas.

Silly

Don't be afraid to be silly.  My mom never was.  31 days of Christmas.

I love this image.  I've actually blogged it before, but I decided to re-work it today and blog it again.
