Dec. 12  Christmas once again!  We’ll be alone this year.  Harry’s folks were here 17 days in Nov. so they spent Thanksgiving with us.  We were all home last yr for Xmas, but I don’t kno’ of anyone who can make it this year.
What do you think of our family?  David is twelve +makes close to $60 a mo. on his paper route.  I told him I made that much teaching school. Ruth is 8 and Peggy 2.  She chatters a mile a minute + is so thrilled about xmas.
Is there a program at the church this year?  I had to make an angel costume for Ruthie.  David is Joseph.
I just wish I had time to write letters instead of notes.  Seems I never start soon enough. but I’ll write u more after Xmas.
Best Wishes for good health + a happy holiday season.  Greetings to Max and Barbara.  Alice

A young couple with most likely their first Christmas tree and their first child.

Glenn, Joyce, Gary Bartle/Bortle?

I will guess that this photo was taken in the late 1940’s or early 1950’s because the gentleman is wearing a double breasted suit coat.

This is a snapshot from the antique shop in Royalton Minnesota.

A couple of cute kids enjoying a record on the Snow White  Record Player.  The Christmas tree was one of those on the table top and for some reason someone cut a small square out of the photo.  The record player was mainly yellow with red bands along the top and the bottom.  Perhaps a reader will recognize that doll the little girl is holding.
