This shows the living room of a young modern family, filled with 1950s Christmas cards sitting on top of the sideboard. 

Playing on the radiogram is a 1950s Christmas record by Dinah Shore with the big band music of the era. Brightly coloured Christmas crackers lay in a box ready on the table waiting to be pulled apart to reveal surprises inside. 

Sitting on top of the radiogram is a typical 1950s artificial Christmas tree – typical of the time. It is decorated with mercury glass ornaments.
