It’s that time of year, it’s Christmas Party/ Holiday Party time! I have attended several already and they were super fun as only parties around this season can be. For today’s ‘Vintage Photo Tuesday‘ I want to showcase vintage photos of Christmas Parties from the 1940s & 1950s (home & work).

Let the Party begin!

Our 1950s ladies are really fashionable dresses, especially the two on the right of the photo. Love the circle skirt with some sort of cool design on it.

This Friday I have my work Christmas party, it’s a small affair with only about 30 of us celebrating the season over dinner, some raffle prizes and open bar (sweet!). It’s fun but not a crazy party by any means as we are about 99% all men where I work, so no dance floor, dj etc. I’m okay with that as I have to do all the hard work and plan the event so quieter/simpler the better 🙂

I thought it would be fun while I was getting ready for this Friday to peruse parties gone by and see what kind of fun they might have had around the punch bowl (ahhh got to love a good old punch bowl).

1950s photo: This is my favorite picture because it reminds me of myself at our work party. As I stated above I’m the organizer of this affair and I work with mostly men so this could be the 1950s Liz 🙂

I wish we had a dance like this. My old job we held dj’d dance parties but never this elegant. 1950s vintage Christmas party photo.

Years ago at a work party I do recall after a few cocktails things getting super hilarious (ties on heads kind of hilarious) but never this fun! These ladies are amazing!
