That Time of Year...

As everyone is running around this time of year, thought I would wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Great New Year! With that, here's how they celebrated in Hollywood back in the forty's. It does seem as though back in those days, there was more time and money available  to decorate the streets....Can you just imagine cruising in the back seat of your parents car, taking in all the lights with wide open eyes.

Enjoy these photos and thanks for staying tuned into the blog! -John

And how the stored them during the year. The two boys seem to be wishing Christmas would never end. Photographer unknown.
