I Love Lucy : 50's Christmas Traditions

50's Christmas Traditions

It seems odd to me for some reason for the parents to tell the kid that Santa was not only bringing presents but also the tree and all the decorations. Was this a common practice in the 50s?

Re: 50's Christmas Traditions

Not to my knowledge did anyone do this. TV world is a strange place where everyone decorates their Christmas tree on Christmas Eve and almost nobody every mentions any connection between this day and any matter of religion.




Why don't we just shoot 'em down and be through with it?

Re: 50's Christmas Traditions

my mother and my father both had their parents do it this way. my grandparents stayed up all night setting up the tree and wrapping the presents and putting them out. they only bought the tree christmas eve and said that Santa brought it.
