Christmas 1969: Felt stockings adorn a very 1960s fireplace in a very 1960s living room with a very 1960s silver tinsel tree. From the Slag Photo Collection.
Among my most vivid childhood memories were the red and white felt stockings my mom and aunts and grandma made. They were bedazzled with sequined reindeer
, trees
, ornaments, snowmen
, santas
, and wreaths. I remember seeing my name in red gluey glitter scrolled across the top. It was such along name: J-E-N-N-I-F-E-R. It took me forever to learn to spell it. Eventually, I learned, but later, shortened it to Jen-X. Haha!
Today begins in the 12 days of Christmas! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
