Lucy and Ricky’s Christmas decorations included a little Santa and Sleigh on the mantel. I see some examples from the era on eBay this week. These are hard to find pieces that have survived the years – click on the pictures to go to the eBay listings.

Below are a couple of similar looking alternatives:
The newly colorized Lucy Does a TV Commercial “Vitameatavegamin” episode from I Love Lucy plus “The Christmas Episode,” which is now colorized in its entirety, is to be aired tonight, Dec. 23 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
If you are familiar with vintage versions of the original props we have identified on this blog it should be interesting to compare them to colorized versions in the new episode.
Wishing you a happy and joyous holiday!
