A Merry 1930's Christmas Ladies

In his song 'Merry Christmas (War Is Over), John Lennon points out to us that it's Christmas and asks what have we done and women everywhere answer hung the decorations, all the cooking, bought and wrapped all the presents, wrote out the cards and put up the tree so what have YOU done then John apart from sit around writing songs but being a woman at Christmas is difficult so where would we be without advice from the 1930's Good Housekeeping magazine.
For some reason my neighbour inherited a bunch of old magazines from her Grandmother which included some Christmas issues and which offered some excellent tips on how women can make things easier while organising Christmas.
When it comes to buying gifts for the family, women it states, women should do some forward planning to purchase presents that: 'Delight the recipient and be affordable at the same time' and offer a list of gift options as perfume, hot-water bottle covers and an egg cosy or household appliances like irons for women and chocolates, dolls and prams for girls.
One particular favourite from the 1930s magazines was an advert claiming that women can buy a cream that can be rubbed into the skin last things at night and within weeks you can achieve a perfect bust and comes with a recommendation from one user who had used the cream and: 'Developed my bust 4 1/2 inches and my breasts are now a lovely shape, high and firm'.  
So there you go ladies, a spot of forward planning and you could be spending Christmas morning in the kitchen cooking the Turkey with a perfect bust after unwrapping your nice new egg cosy and looking forward to the hours spent with your brand new Morphy Richards Steam Iron.
Note to Hubby: If that present sitting under our tree with my name on it is an iron then i hope you find the sofa comfortable.
