It is Christmas Eve! I'm working part of the day, then I'll spend the evening at my in-law's house, hopefully playing games and making the pugs wear their Christmas outfits. I thought I would post some of my favorites from my vintage Christmas photo collection! I love getting inspiration from old photos like these.
A pretty amazing Christmas card. Look at that scary Santa head!
It looks like "Merry Christmas" was spray painted on those curtains!
I LOVE that foil door. The back says "Xmas 1968 + Dixie"
I also love trees completely covered with tinsel. If I didn't have cats I would do that.
This looks like an office Christmas party. I think that is a woman Santa! And look at the pin up poster in the back! I really wish I knew what was really going on in this picture. Where are they? What is that equipment in the back?
Travis brought me this picture. It says "Margaret and I did get mink stoles for Xmas so we thought we'd do a little modeling" and it it from 1960.
I also have a few of my dad's Christmas photos from when he was little! You know I love that.
A tinsel covered tree! My dad is the little guy in the front.I love the checkered jacket!
My dad and his brother Steve with a creepy Santa! What is with the weird slack arm?
I have always loved this picture. I'm pretty sure this is them trying on their Christmas gifts. Look at those buckaroos! And my uncles scuffed up shoes!
A later picture. I love this for so many reasons. My dad's weird face, the glasses, that intriguing santa up on the bookcase, and is that a paint by number Jesus I spy?
I hope you are having a great holiday no matter what you are celebrating, even if it is just a day off! I can't wait to eat delicious food and see my family and open presents and make Phyllis wear her Santa hat.
I love this post. Especially your family shots and the one with Dixie and the foil door. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family!
ReplyDeleteAwesome collection, I collect vintage photos too but haven't fulled delved into the Christmas category. My dad is a product of the '50s so he always advocated for tons of tinsel on our tree too! I'm really hoping that your dad saved some of the awesome decor/items from these photos, especially that paint by number Jesus.
