Merry Christmas everyone! With a few days to go until the big day I thought some helpful seasonal advice from the past on how to get ahead this Christmas would be a suitable way to thank all of you lovely readers out there for a fantastic year of historic musings at History and the Sock Merchant!
Here we have a selection of useful advice from the pages of a wonderful book called 'The Book of Hints and Wrinkles'. Published in the early 1930's it is the most amazing piece of modern social history, and contains advice on everything from 'Running the Home', 'The Management of Young Children' advice on 'The Laundry' and 'Room layouts' and even the 'Importance of a Daily Bath!
