Christmas morning aftermath. I recognise the loom on the sofa but the other boxes are a mystery. Don't recall them at all. I just found a large box of slides and negatives last week. This was one of the ones I haven't seen in years. There's also a photo taken the next summer with the bubble pipe. I'll post it as well. View full size.

Early American Decor

Yes, tterrace, the fake snow was relegated to the "never again" category of Xmas decorations, along with the fuschia fake snow that melted onto the hot water radiators and stained them permanently.

We had that same couch (through three houses) until at least 1970 when it was replaced with a hideous "Harvest Gold" plaid couch/loveseat/chair set (along with a yellow and gold wall-to-wall shag rug and faux "walnut" wood panelling). The couch in the photo folded down. It finally gave up the ghost fold-wise around the time we got rid of it.

In the 60's everyone of my relatives it seemed had an Early American coffee table just like this one.

Decoration downside

By any chance, did your mother say, "This is the LAST year with that !*#@*! fake snow!" I also note the very typical for the period Early American decor. Also, fantastic wallpaper.
