I love this photo by Arthur Leipzig of children looking at Christmas toys in 1944. The little girl at the bottom looks like she just can’t stand the allure, I think I’d have to buy her something.
Anyway, have a great weekend everybody, Christmas is a week today.
I hope you get all you wish for. Be careful what you wish for.
See you on the flip side.
Wonder if they played โbagsyโ ? No Argos catalogue for kids to look through any more.

I wish you a good Christmas too! Personally, I have all I need or could wish for … but a little less fascism in the global politics would be nice …

Coincidentally I read your comment in between reading Travellers In The Third Reich: The Rise Of Fascism Through The Eyes Of Everyday People.
It didnโt end well.

It is amazing, how many of their rights and their freedom people are willing to give up, if just you tell them that they are in mortal danger.

Oh my, don’t you sound like the stereotypical (said that for liability protection’s sake! I honestly don’t know what’s what in the world of PC these days) Italian/Jewish/Catholic/fill-in-the-blank Mamma!
See you on the flip side, too!

Okay, so now I have to rank these – “Mancunian Mamma” sounds quite British upper crust, “from Mamchester” can be taken at least two ways: a- as in Ma’amchester a kindof polite reference and b- a bit obscene, I leave it to the imagination and then my very favorite..”Mamma Manc”! I claim that! HA! (son-in-law is beginning to call me Mamma Laura so this really hit the target!)
Geesh, great minds, eh?
