So fantastic, these really say "Christmas" to me. Almost as much as looking at the Sears "Wishbook" when I was a kid!!
My siblings and I used to string popcorn for the tree like in the 1921 photo. In our family movies, Dad wrote out "1964" in popcorn on the floor to mark the year of the home movie.
Okay - now I cannot think of anything I would love to find under my tree more than those vintage Barbie cases those little girls got in 1964!! Seriously.
