Its 1965, Nan has dropped Mom a letter after Christmas. As with many of her letters, she has folded the paper lengthwise and it is typed using red ribbon.
As always the family is busy, this time Pa is painting the dust bin while Nan is typing her letter. Mom seems to have missed out on Christmas dinner that year as she was not feeling well.
The Christmas menu from the sixties is a joy to read:
Grapefruit Cocktail
Fried Sole and Lemon
Saute Chicken Liver on Toast
Ham and Port Wine Sauce with Vegetables
Baron of Beef with Pineapple Rings
Plum Pudding and Brandy sauce
Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce
Biscuits and Cheese
