ABOUT THE COVER: "Merry Christmas" from Anita (Mrs. John) Menard, who custom-designed the profusion of colorful goodies that grace the Christmas tree in the Menard home. Greetings, too, from those nice Palm Springs merchants who gussied-up the gifts beneath the tree with their personalized wrappings. And all of us at Palm Springs Life wish you the happiest of holidays and great joy in the coming year. Photography by Sid Noles.
