Have you ever wondered what a family gathering around the tree looked like in the 1930s, ‘40s or even ‘50s? Take a step back in time and explore the wonders of vintage Christmas photos from some of the earliest decades of the 20th century.

Please notice, that as you take a glimpse into the past, you’ll be surprised by how much or how little has changed. From the decorations to the expressions of joy, you’ll discover the nostalgia that defined the holiday spirit during the 1920s through the 1950s.

So friends, pour yourself a glass of eggnog (or drink of choice) and lets jump into the Christmases of a time gone by.
