Monogram M 1940's...

the infamous M monogrammed imprinted 

candy-coated chocolates...

M&M’s

made their debut in the 1940’s

(although technically the imprinted M 

on each piece didn't appear until 1950, 

several years after their debut)

this violet M was one of the popular 

1940’s monogram styles

and the frame is a 1949 style of artwork

as for the M&M’s...

violet was replaced by the color tan in 1949

tan was replaced by blue in 1995

but this violet monogrammed M lives on

*all M&M’s used were for research purposes only

ummm...until they were consumed

Plaid Tidings...

decking the halls

 

 

 

 

untangling the lights

 

 

cutting the greens

 

 

and thinking-

 

instead of getting my antlers all tied up in knots,

 

 

maybe I’ll convert the giving thanks setting,

 

to plaid tidings

 

 

 

 

 

fa la la la la!
