1953, it was a very good year. (….ahhhh, I remember it well!) I know
because we are living proof! Ok, so I don’t remember it so well, this glorious
year we were born….which is why I searched You Tube for Christmas in 1953 to wax
nostalgia. I did find lots of black and white footage from TV and lots of radio
too. Your Christmas in review is a click away below.
This is a lovely review of a family’s memories that represent a nice
Christmas cross-section of Americana in the 50’s.
