2020 is almost done ladies and gentlemen! Yay! While things are not going to change in the first part of 2021, I am looking forward to what may come near the end of the year. Maybe I can do some small trips? Maybe I can hug my mom and dad again or maybe I can have a lindy hop dance with a stranger! Who knows! Whatever it is, it’s pretty darn exciting and I can’t wait.

Now for today’s post….I have done multiple posts on New Years in the past (hence the part 3) so I’m just going to build on what I have done and ask that you check out the fun in my other NYE posts, at the end of this post.

It’s always important that the drinks keep coming on NYE (boozy or the virgin kind), even if you have to look at a book on how to make them. This is a funny 1960s photo of a group of party goers trying to figure out how to make their next drinks. Question: What is the man on the right holding?

1953 New Year’s Eve Black Tie “mostly” mandatory party (Gosh those 1950s dresses are divine!). I’m trying to figure out if they are in the back room of a restaurant because it feels very industrial (beside the curtains).

I will end this last blog post of 2020 with a photo that pretty much sums up what I had HOPED my New Years Eve would of been like (plus I feel like this lady is my spirit animal). Me in a pretty 1960s dress, with a party hat, drink in my hand celebrating with friends in their home bar (I do love a vintage home bar). Sigh…Oh well next year friends!

I love Christmas time and while this year is going to be very very different for myself and my family (aka I’m staying in Toronto and not visiting my family). I also love vintage Christmas photos and have done several posts on them in the past (check them out at the end of this post). So I’m excited that it’s Vintage Photo Tuesday again so I can share some more holiday photos I have found online.

Christmas parties are the best! Especially when they are fancy like this 1940s party taken in the Norfolk area (Britain). Everyone looks so happy and I love all the festive touches everywhere including that mistletoe hanging.

Dances are a popular thing to do during the holidays, like in the 1940s photo of a Christmas dance, sponsored by the 1323rd Engineers in Texas. What a party! Look how packed the dance floor is and how fantastic and handsome the women and men look (those 1940s hairstyles..drool!). Love it!

1950s Photo of a little child beside the Christmas Tree with all the toys he got at Christmas.

Wow this photo has so many awesome things to look at, I don’t even know where to begin! Look at all the toys under that tree! Look at that vinyl chair! Those tropical curtains (drool) and the bubble lights on the tree and the glass bulbs and all that tinsel! This photo is incredible!

Vintage Style Goals! I want this women’s look! What a beauty in this 1940s vintage photo. Where to begin?

Well first off her DRESS!!! EEK! With the sequined bow on the front, hip swag and caged short sleeves, this 1940s evening gown is a winner in my books. And her glasses suit her so well. Love! I also want the barkcloth curtains in the background and all the tinsel that she has on her tree.

Vintage Photo of a Mid Century Family at Christmas in the 1960’s sitting at a table with christmas treats and a cute dog. My grandmother (Omi) always had a similar three tiered treat / baking holder out at the holidays. The other decorations are the perfect level of Christmas Kitsch for me!

This 1940s photo of a pretty young woman in a fantastic 1940s dress looking all sad and lonely by the Christmas Tree, is my mood these days. I feel this is 1940s Liz. Anyone else feel the same way?

1960s photo of an Aluminum Xmas Tree with red themed ornaments and a modern TV. Kitschy Christmas decorations sit under the tree. Pretty!

Do any of my readers own an aluminum tree today? Or had one in the past? I want one for my home, but they are not the cheapest when you manage to find one. Some day!
