Christmas and the cost of living

I found this Christmas ad in the Cupar Herald dated December 18, 1919 . 



World War I, The Great War, The War to End all Wars is over. It appears people have returned to their  concern for spending and saving money at Christmas, at least that is what retailers want to portray.

'Tis the Season

Small towns seem to have many Christmas Dinners. It is amazing how many volunteer, social and church groups exist and of course there is always an overlap to the point one can get confused as to which supper one has actually committed to. The table is well prepared but whose supper is it?
Actually it is the Cupar and District Heritage Museum's Christmas supper not the Legion's although we booked their space as we had over 40 participants. It was the same night as the Lion's ambulance Christmas Dinner. From what I have heard it is possible to have a turkey dinner every night for over a week.
