Vintage Women And Their Mid-Century Christmas Trees

Last year House Crazy Sarah featured photos of Victorian era Christmas trees. This year she’d like to fast forward a few decades to look at some snapshots of mid-century women posing by their Christmas trees.

These old photos are great because not only do we get to see some vintage women’s fashion, we also get a peek into the décor of the times.

Look at these matching silver foxes:

What House Crazy Sarah really loves about these photos is that they are actual pictures of real women, not posed magazine photos like this silly one below:

No, these are the real deal, plucked from family photos albums from the 1950’s through the 1970’s.
