Merry Christmas from 1951
by Paula Bosse
The holidays are here again. Thank you so much for sticking with me this year — it’s been a rough one, and my posting schedule has suffered, but I want to wish all of you who continue to check in here regularly a very Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, and/or just a lovely day to spend with your favorite people, pets, and pies.
I really like this cover for the Christmas edition of Dallas magazine, a publication of the Dallas Chamber of Commerce. The cover is by Dallas commercial artist Virgil Fralin. He’s even included a little portrait of the skyline (with a rather gigantic Pegasus perched atop the Magnolia Building!).
