Christmas in wartime England from Mackenzies’ letter
In a Yuletide family letter from London dated December 24, the Mackenzies describe a first peacetime Christmas since 1938. They note relief as bombs ceased, soldiers return home, and London shops display holiday cheer despite rationing and scarce goods. They urge children to feel the Christmas spirit and send loving thoughts during separation.
