Ten more days, I hope you’ve got all your gifts or you could be facing the crowds and the insanity that is last-minute shopping! My gift to you?

The Mayflower Ballroom, attached to the Terre Haute House hotel would have been located at 7th and Wabash and the house band (heard on the attached video) surely would have been playing Christmas favorites of the era like White Christmas which came out that same year
