December 1945, this was the first Christmas after the war ended. Gradually stores started to restock on new items and production was slowly going back to civilian goods. The Christmas of 1945 was the first glimpse of the "world of tomorrow". In the series that I am starting now we'll explore the 1945 SEARS Christmas Wishbook, starting with this Deluxe 56-piece Farm Set...because, come on, children or adults we all enjoy toys, even if we like to admit it or not.
