Christmas 1910

From Shorpy: Christmas in Buffalo, NY, 1910.  Note the burniing candles on the tree.  They were still doing this in Germany when I was there from 1982 to 1985.  With a fire extinguisher at hand, of course! Check out the fullsized photo and commentary at Shorpy. ~Curtis in Idaho! {!-{>

Christmas 1919

From Shorpy: “December 1919. “Baker Christmas tree.” Secretary of War Newton Baker, wife Elizabeth and children Jack, Betty and little Peggy. Interesting comments, too. Check out the fullsized photo and commentary at Shorpy. ~Curtis in Idaho! {!-{>
