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

I laughed at the boxes -- children and cats BOTH love 'em!
ReplyDeleteNicely done - who hasn’t had a little imp playing with the box whilst the gift it contained is ignored?
ReplyDeleteThere's just something about boxes (and large paper bags) that appeal to a child's nature. :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! The wide dark eyes make the photos into special treasures.
ReplyDeleteThe little helper in the kitchen is a delight.
ReplyDeleteLove the purple dress photo. I bet that tower of blocks didn't last long!
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs. And for most children the cardboard box is often just as fascinating as whatever might have been inside.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful smiles! They made me smile in turn. You have an excellent response to the prompt. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteKids and cats with boxes, we were just commenting on this phenomenon while my cat napped in a box next to her brand new cat tree! Lovely, adorable photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteWonderful children's photos, shining faces full of love!
ReplyDeleteThese are so joyful! Thanks for the smile you've given me.
ReplyDeleteI'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!
