A Doris Christmas

[suzie]

I had read in a book that Doris hardly decorated her home at Christmas time. I wonder if thats still the case ? I would have thought that she would have decorated big time. Anyone have any photos of her home during the Christmas Holidays ? I bet when she worked at Warners and when Terry was little she and Marty decorated alot . I would love to see photos if anyone has any . Have a wonderful Christmas everyone.

If it's true that Doris does not or did not decorate much during Xmas, it might because she lost Terry right before Xmas in 2004 and it may have taken her a few years to get to the point where she wanted to decorate again. I can certainly understand that and have no problems understanding her feelings. And since that meant that there was no more family togetherness during the holidays, perhaps she didn't feel like really decorating to any large degree. However, we have no idea what really happens inside her home.

A lot of people are like that, Suzie, for me it's mostly the cards and presents that say it's Christmas rather than decorations - and the date of course! - it depends on which 'family group' you belong to, small or large. Doris has always been a bit of an individual, from my perspective, (prefers talking to fans rather than the press, etc). But I think, Suzie, that you are blessed with a large family? And I'm sure they are all as nice as you.

Thank You Bryan you are always so sweet . I know that so many on here like Puck and you and many others have such fantastic photos of Doris ,I was just kind of wondering if any of you had any P.R photos from around the Warners time of the Melchers at Christmas. Thats actually what I was getting at ...lol My favorite time of Doris' career is the Warner and Marty years. There may not be any P R pictures of the Melchers at Christmas, just was wondering. Merry Christmas to you all and a very wonderful new year.

Did Doris ever decorate her house at Xmas? I bet Mary Anne would know!!
Wow, I just noticed I joined this forum one year ago!!! Can't believe I made 400 posts!
Maybe I should celebrate by decorating my house with all the Doris items I have!

I bet the Cypress Inn is decorated very nicely for the holidays . I know what you mean Suzie about the " Melcher years " being so interesting . I love the photos of Terry and Doris and Marty at home . There is a photo on the forum where Marty has Terry sitting on his lap while he is reading the paper and Doris is looking after Terry ,I think that is a very sweet photo (even though I am sure it is a publicity photo ) it s still very cute and sweet. The 50s were very good times in this country and Doris was a lovely part of it . Bill
