Yellow Stuff

My mom gave me this party book in 1962 when I was 8 years old. I loved to linger over the pictures and read the recipes. Not sure I actually made anything from it but the sketches and party plans captivated my interest.


What an unusual choice of yellow to illustrate this page on Christmas decorations. It got me curious as to whether I had any yellow Christmas decorations.


Today my husband and I decorated the Christmas tree and, sure enough, I have a couple yellow ornaments.




Tradition generally dictates our color choices for holidays, but why not break out of the box with an unconventional color?
