from the National Naval Aviation Museum...
"At sea en route to the West Coast of the United States in the carrier Randolph (CV 15) in December 1944, the pilots of Bombing Squadron (VB) 87 held a Christmas party in their ready room. The celebration came complete with a homemade Christmas tree with a broomstick handle stem and cardboard leaves, the ornaments consisting of playing cards. Assembled beneath the tree were gag gifts that prompted laughter among all."
