It's that time of year. 1948, an insurance broker firm in New York City.

Those are the best ...and most hysterical...Christmas pictures ever. I LOVE them...And what I really LOVE are the shoes on the secretary up there dancing with her boss! Gorgeous!
That conga line is hilarious! It's quite funny to see people in serious office attire having fun in a conga line. In any case, it's a fascinating glimpse into the past. That photo is proof that it's best to celebrate the holidays with a fun party.
Glad you like them! I was thrilled to find them, I love seeing people from long ago being silly and having fun (especially in nice shoes! :) ).
