Christmas 1956

I had just turned 2 and we lived in a tiny house on Cortez Street in Dallas. My sister still has the Raggedy Ann and Andy -- and I still have my Mom's chairs.

This is for Happy Hobo.

Great pix..and better still that both of you still have the dolls and chairs !!
Being married Dec 26..1959... we had some chairs like that..as the wife liked "early American" !!

They are a bit worse for the wear, sitting on my mantle in the bedroom! Made by Aunt Blanche. She was an extra special neighbor on Cortez, like another mother.

Wow thanks mewesq. That is a space-aged looking rocking horse for '56. Love the photo. Thanks for sharing.

I tried to answer your header question. I hope it helps.

What a sweet 50's Christmas. I love looking at everyone's old family pictures.

We had a rag rug like that and that toy on the right came with a hammer and you could pound pegs into holes

old jack, you are absolutely right and they still make those "nail and hammer" toys today -- in virtually the same design.

This is wonderful, MEW. I've been looking at the family photos you've been posting but have been short on time for leaving comments. The photos are truly priceless!

You've inspired me to get my old family photos together (finally) and I hope to get some posted soon.
