These photos are from a
Better Homes & Gardens issue from December of 1975. The theme was to show how Christmas was being celebrated 200 years after America was founded. One thing you will notice is the trend is for folksy, homemade stuff in an effort to "go back to the good ole days." This was the era of
The Waltons &
Little House on the Prairie. I hated that, but I survived. As always, click on the photo to enlarge it.

A crap craft bazaar attended by the kind of women that would have deep discussions, in TV commercials of that era, about "occasional irregularity." |
 |
| This is nice but let me add that the captions didn't give locations. |

| Some generic football players visit kids in a hospital somewhere. |

| Nice tree |

| A 1975 MILF decorates her Christmas tree. |
 |
| The lost art of Tiffany glass decorations |
 |
| Patchwork wreaths |
 |
| Remember, if you live out in the country, you have to decorate your tree in barnyard animals. |
 |
| More of the farm motive for decorations. Nothing says Christmas like a pig, duck, goat, hen, cow, & cranky old couple. |
 |
| Country folk also decorate with big quilts on their wall. |
 |
| Now this is what I like. I remember the white tree trend. That was cool. |
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
