The Little Ghost of Christmas Past

Abby started a flickr group to share photos of holiday past, and I thought I'd join in. I don't have a lot of old Christmas pics here in Portland with me, but I found a few to share...

Me and mom sorting my Christmas loot at Grandma's house- 1983 I'm guessing? Nice velour track suit mom! 

Christmas at Aunt Judy's house circa 1984 or 85? I got a stoller. Not sure if I was excited about that or not. That's my cousin Kenny, ready to assist. I wish had that teddy bear sweater still.

Oof. I remember taking these pictures, all decked out in what I suppose was my Christmas best. I was maybe 4 years old? And not too happy to be wearing those tights, I do remember that.

Not Christmas exactly but wintertime obviously, building a snowman with mama in our yard. I have that hat she's wearing in my closet right now. Man, I wish I had that yellow coat too!

Seems I'm more interested in the clothes in these photos than anything else. Guess I chose the right path with my shop and all ;)

Have some photos of holiday past to share? Join in!

Love these vintage Christmas images of women (and one miserable-looking little girl!) I love the clothes, the way the presents are wrapped, the gaudy trees, the wreaths of holly, the wallpaper, the schtikiness, the short shorts and high heels...All from the 20's-50's, I think they're so fun to look at. Uh oh, I think I may be starting to feel festive!
