Christmas Delights: Sepia Saturday


This week's  prompt of a German Christmas calendar has delightful illustrations of children enjoying themselves over the festive season - baking, painting, reading, sledging, and generally playing and having fun. 

No vintage photographs exist of my ancestors at Christmas
  so I have looked back instead at more recent times 

Granddaughter with her menagerie! 

 Another friend to join the collection ! 


 Best dress on show 


 Enjoying a good book! 

The serious artist at work!


Daughter All wrapped up for a winter ride! 





Mummy's little  helper in the kitchen

But at the end of the day, what is most fun!   Playing in the boxes of course!










                                                                        ***************

Sepia Saturday gives bloggers an opportunity 
to share their family history through photographs.

  1. I laughed at the boxes -- children and cats BOTH love 'em!

  2. Nicely done - who hasn’t had a little imp playing with the box whilst the gift it contained is ignored?

  3. There's just something about boxes (and large paper bags) that appeal to a child's nature. :)

  7. Lovely photographs. And for most children the cardboard box is often just as fascinating as whatever might have been inside.

  13. I'm so glad to see a little bald baby girl. My granddaughter just turned 1 and still cannot hold a bow in her bits of hair. Fun photos, Susan!
