EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the festive season of the 1930s, where the merriment and joviality of a Christmas party reached new heights with the inclusion of an unexpected yet delightful game: Ascot at the Party. This playful diversion, as depicted in this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, brought together a group of elegantly dressed guests, all eager to partake in the horse racing-inspired challenge. The horses, represented by the dapper gentlemen and graceful ladies, were not actual animals but paper cutouts affixed to their wearers. The racecourse was not a grand track but a length of tape, meticulously taped to the floor. The jockeys, however, were the real deal, armed with curved nail scissors to expertly and swiftly cut down the centre of the tape, their determination and skill on full display. The objective of the game was simple yet thrilling: to be the first horse to pass the post, which was marked by a festive Christmas stocking. The tension in the room was palpable as each participant focused intently on their task, their scissors poised and ready to make the decisive cut. The laughter and camaraderie that filled the air were a testament to the fun and historical significance of this unique party game. Ascot at the Party was a delightful deviation from the typical Christmas party games of the era, and this photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the social history of the 1930s. The image is a reminder that even the most ordinary gatherings could be elevated by a touch of creativity, whimsy, and friendly competition.
