I love this glimpse into a Wartime Christmas. It feels so distant and nostalgic, yet I think of my dad and his siblings and my grandparents living through this, and it feels a lot closer. Also, I'd try the cranberry Christmas trees!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed reading. I have some bits and pieces of this time period lodged in my childhood memories because of older relatives. Finding these old ads and articles definitely helps that time feel closer. I also think the cranberry trees could be good. The cream cheese is the interesting element that I'm not sure about. lol
Oh Sarah, this is so festive!! Christmas tree shortages...yet another element that would have never occurred to me, had you not brought it up.
I'm uncertain about the cranberry trees, but also intrigued! haha!
I learn new stuff every time I do research! Those newspapers are such a treasure trove!, especially for interesting recipes... 😂
