EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Helping Themselves," captures the joy and excitement of a group of children helping themselves to presents from a Christmas tree in the early 1900s. The image, taken in 1902, offers a glimpse into the rich traditions and customs of the holiday season during this era. The children's expressions of wonder and delight are infectious, as they reach up to pluck toys and treats from the tree, their eyes wide with anticipation. The scene is reminiscent of the popular Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas," which celebrates the giving and receiving of gifts over the twelve days following Christmas Day. The tradition of exchanging presents dates back to at least the 16th century, with records indicating that gifts were given in honor of the Three Wise Men, who are said to have presented gifts to the baby Jesus. As the years passed, the custom of exchanging gifts became a cherished part of Christmas celebrations around the world. In this photograph, we see the continuation of that tradition, as children eagerly unwrap presents from beneath the tree, their faces alight with the magic of the season. The toys and presents depicted in the photograph offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. Some children hold dolls or stuffed animals, while others clutches balls or other simple toys. These gifts may seem modest by today's standards, but they were likely treasured possessions for the children who received them. Overall, "Helping Themselves" is a beautiful reminder of the enduring traditions and customs that have shaped the holiday season for generations. It invites us to reflect on the simple joys of childhood and the magic of Christmas, even as the world around us continues to change.
