Vintage Christmas Photos – Day 2 – Opening Gifts

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This Christmas photo did not have any identifying marks. I place the photo around the late 1930s to early 1940s.

The lady is well-dressed for her Christmas celebration. I wonder what was in the box. I am guessing, she is a grandmother or great-grandmother to the host.

I love the Christmas cards in the background and the old-fashioned tree.

What do you think?

Merry Christmas!

Until next time…peace

Vintage Christmas Photo: Day 8–A Couple Posing

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I think I have more than one photo in front of this Christmas tree. I am going to assume everyone was at a family Christmas party.

Of course, I am only guessing. But, I remember as a little girl, my great-grandmother would host a Christmas party. At some point, everyone had to have a picture taken in front of the tree.

Merry Christmas!

Until next time…peace

Vintage Christmas Photo: Day 6–A Girl and her Two Babies

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Like many of the other photos, I purchased from auctions or other sites, I do not have any concrete information about the little girl in the photo. I just guess.

But, I believe, there is something truly magical about showing off two brand-new baby dolls on Christmas morning! I would place this photo in the early 1950s range. I just love the little girl and her new toys.

I love the large caterpillar in the background on the table. I need to research it. I am very curious about the worm-like toy. Unless she had siblings, there were other toys. I spotted a baking/kitchen set on the floor. I think there is a stuffed dog down by her feet. But I guess the dog could be real. What do you think?

What do you see when you look at the old photo?

Vintage Christmas Photo-Day 5: A Lady and her Dog

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Well, I assume the dog belongs to the lady. I really do not know. But, I like to think they were posing together on Christmas Day.

Based on the photo type and her clothing style, I am guessing this photo is from the early 1950s.

I believe, my grandfather had a desk like the one the Christmas tree is on. So, I am also using that as a basis for the date.

What do you see when you look at the photo?

Until next time…peace

Vintage Christmas Photo: Day 3-Christmas Cake

Posted on by Rebecca C.

The image is most likely from the late 1960s or early 70s. Even though, the picture is blurry I really liked the cake. There are no identifying marks on the image.

I believe, the decorations are gummies and gumdrops with a stacked cookie tree. If I get a chance this Christmas season, I might try to make one. My baking skills are lacking. But the Christmas cake looked like a dessert that my great aunts would have baked. The task would be a perfect nostalgic moment.

What do you think of the Christmas cake? Did you have anything similar growing up?

Until next time…peace

Vintage Christmas Photo: Day 2-Girl and her New Doll

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I was not going to call this a “vintage” photo because this is definitely my era. The image does not have any identifying marks. But I can tell the photo was taken in the early 1970s. I think I got the same doll.

I am assuming this is an extended family Christmas gathering. The two women are opening gifts in the background of the image. When I enlarge the photo, I see the lady closest to the young girl received a “Double Mac” as a Christmas gift. This was a home appliance in the 1970s.

When you look at the photo, what do you see?

Until next time…peace
