Barbie, Margie, and a Silver Tree for Christmas, 1962

A Christmas photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Toys in the foreground that I was able to identify include a 1962 Ponytail Barbie Case, a 1962 Margie the Majorette Doll Craft Kit, and a Mickey Mouse Club Counting Jump Rope.

Wikipedia reports that silver aluminum Christmas trees like the one in the photo were popular in the U.S. from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, when a silver tree "was used as a symbol of the over-commercialization of Christmas in the 1965 Peanuts holiday special, A Charlie Brown Christmas."

My Auntie Rene had one of those trees - a big one with a color wheel that slowly turned it red, yellow, green and blue. A little tacky, maybe, but it was so magical to me . I loved it.

The color wheel sounds more magical than tacky to me!

The doll crib in the corner is a lot like mine from my childhood (but with different decals):

Great color Christmas photo, Alan. Looks like that little girl made quite a haul from Santa. Love her blond banana curls. Someone put a lot of work into that. I didn't realize that Charlie Brown destroyed the aluminum tree market.
