Charles Addams: Christmas Time

Charles Addams indulged in some merrily anachronistic Christmas revelry more than 70 years ago in the pages of The New Yorker. It's hard to believe, but today we are more years removed from our 1940 predecessors than they were from their 19th-century, stagecoach-riding counterparts.
