A New Yorker Cover a Day puzzle, day 7

I enjoyed the little bit of challenge in this puzzle. It’s not a particularly difficult image, but the lack of color meant it was down to shades of gray and the little smatterings of white once you get the title and the oval frame done. I’m certain that this wouldn’t happen in most apartments today, having the various employees of the complex caroling at the tenant’s doors. I don’t know how much this really even happened in the 1960s, except probably for well off complexes.
