Black Friday Holiday Break

I'm taking a week off to make my holiday preparations, but I'll be back on December 5.  Some basic SSS operations will continue, like the playlist posting and notice of any imminent and interesting event.  In the meantime, I hope everyone has a careful, courteous and safe Black Friday.  The above family from Providence, Rhode Island in 1944 has started their holiday shopping.  Courtesy of the Library of Congress American Memory Collection.
