Happy Birthday To Frank Sinatra!

1915-1998
I don't think there are words to describe how much I adore this man. I can think of no other singer that can pour out so much emotion in one song: elation, despair, and everything in between. Sure, his voice wasn't technically the best, and some people may resent the fact that so many people think he's the best singer of all time. But it wasn't all in the voice. He contributed so much to the music industry, with his concept albums and all. I listen to him everyday (really!), and through his music, I feel like I knew him. He had the ability to make you think that.

Happy 94th birthday, Frankie!

Get Yourself In The Spirit

The Christmas spirit, thst is!

Well. maybe not as extreme as Deanna Durbin dressing like a Christmas tree.

Jean shows off her newly decorated tree...

While Anita waits under the mistletoe!

Ginger is surrounded by Santas! She must have been a very good girl this year.

Donna Reed is an old pro at decorating Christmas trees.

Jimmy and Margaret exchange gifts.

While Barbara and Dennis gor for a sleigh ride.

It looks like Gene Tierney is playing Santa! Be careful Gene, don't fall and drop the presents. Those sidewalks can be icy.

Frankie and Nancy know the holidays are all about family.

After finishing the decorations, Jean Harlow and Bill Powell, hosted a Christmas party.
