December 24, 1959

 





This is our living room, captured with a black & white Polaroid. It's easy to surmise that there wasn't tons of money for lots of gifts. That bicycle was a hand-me-down from someone. I'm noticing it was a girl's bike. Hmm. 

We received some presents Christmas morning for a number of years as well as a few Chanukah gifts. I never really wondered why we were getting "Christmas" presents, hell, any day was a good day for presents! Turns out we were getting gifts on December 24th because that was our parents wedding anniversary, but we didn't know it! We were told Mum & Dad got married September 24th

Seems someone had been pregnant and a shotgun was involved.




                                                                                      







Notice what's on top of that Zenith television set. 

I still have that clock and vase. My sister has the menorah.
