No matter how practical she may be, mom would much prefer to receive something frivolous — something she wouldn’t ordinarily buy for her self. It need not be expensive like mink or diamonds, even though they’re always nice. A tiny vial of utterly extravagant perfume is a likely winner. So is a be-ribboned or be-frilled house coat — and maybe oodles and oodles of delicious-smelling bubble bath. COLONIAL CHRISTMAS Little is recorded in the his tories of Christmas in Colonial Times.
