EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, titled 'Two Girls and Tree' by an unknown photographer, captures the essence of a cherished Christmas tradition from the late 19th century. Circa 1880, the image transports us back in time to an era of simplicity and warmth. Two young girls, dressed in their best, stand before a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, each holding a present in their arms. Their faces radiate joy and excitement, reflecting the pure delight that comes with the unwrapping of gifts. Christmas trees, a centuries-old custom, have long been a symbol of the holiday season. Originating in Europe, the tradition of bringing evergreen trees into homes during the winter solstice was believed to bring good fortune and ward off evil spirits. By the 1800s, the practice had spread to North America, and the exchange of gifts became an integral part of the celebration. The girls' attire, with their long, flowing dresses and bonnets, is reminiscent of the fashion of the time. The tree, adorned with handmade ornaments, candles, and tinsel, is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of the era. The presents, wrapped in simple brown paper and tied with ribbons, speak to the value placed on the thought and effort put into the giving of gifts. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring traditions that have shaped the holiday season for generations. It invites us to reflect on the history and customs that continue to bring joy and wonder to our lives during the festive season.
