Average Jane’s Holidays Past

Vintagesanta

I’m starting my series of old Christmas photos with one that was taken long before I was born. This is my uncle and mother visiting Santa sometime in the late ’40s or early ’50s. My uncle looks like he’s putting in his bid for a Red Ryder BB Gun.

I didn’t find a lot of black and white holiday photos in my collection, even though I ended up with the lion’s share of the family photos when my mother and grandmother passed away.

I’m going to look through my old scrapbooks and baby book to see what I else can come up with for later this week. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can dig up a photo of me at age seven or eight dressed as an elf.

    That is a wonderful pic! I am totally unsure of where most of my family’s old photos are. I would hang on to that one tight if I was you!

    That’s funny, because when I first glanced I thought it was a picture from an old movie like Miracle on 34th Street or something.

    I wish for the similar times of that era, but they shall never be.

    What a gem Jane. It really does remind me of the movie and the Santa scene. Love it!
