Gitta:
I have a very special Xmas Surprise for you.
Over 30 years ago a relative of mine wrote several times to Mary Bard Jensen's husband Dr. Clyde Jensen. She was especially interested in the famous Bard Xmas family parties.
Very dear Dr. Jensen shared several photos of family Xmas parties by Mary Bard Jensen, Betty MacDonald, Alison Bard Burnett, Dorothea Goldsmith ( Dede ) and others.
Betty MacDonald Fan Club Xmas Newsletter includes several of these photos. I know you'll enjoy them very much.
Miriam, speaking of husbands and Xmas I have to tell you my husband agrees with Betty MacDonald's husband Don. He likes table trees. LOL.
To my daughters and me Xmas without a huge tree isn't Xmas at all.
So what will we have? Of course we'll have an enormous Xmas tree. Poor hubby!
He always says: Sometimes it's a bit complicated if you have three women in your house.
I can't tell you how much we love Xmas time.
Love,
Gitta
