It’s that time of year, it’s Christmas Party/ Holiday Party time! I have attended several already and they were super fun as only parties around this season can be. For today’s ‘Vintage Photo Tuesday‘ I want to showcase vintage photos of Christmas Parties from the 1940s & 1950s (home & work).
Let the Party begin!

1950s Christmas party in a livingroom with a wall of plates and a well stocked bookshelf.
Our 1950s ladies are really fashionable dresses, especially the two on the right of the photo. Love the circle skirt with some sort of cool design on it.

Great post, Liz! I can’t pick one favorite, they are all cool glimpses into the past. The last one in color is really fun- whenever I see photos from the 50’s in color it’s like going back in time. So cool! 🙂
Coloured photos are always the best. I agree with you!

Wonderful photos!
I agree! Thanks for dropping by 🙂
