A Little Fifties Christmas!!



I started writing this post as a compilation of a few of my favourite Christmas Songs! It soon became pretty obvious they were all hailing from the 1950s, so I thought why stop there? So heres a little bit of inspiration to add some 50s fun to your christmas this year!!

I'll kick off with my favourite christmas songs.....


It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas - Bing Crosby 1951



Baby It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin 1959



Frank Sinatra - Let It Snow, 1950


Now your in the mood it's trime to send out your xmas cards....

sending retro christmas cards can spread the 50s love!!!
