I love that all kids are curious about the chimney detail, even 100 years ago

I’m heartbroken that we’re slowly losing the art of script/cursive… the handwriting here is just stunning. Reminds me of being a kid & asking my mom to “translate” bday cards from my grandma :’)

My grandfather grew up poor in WV in the early 40s and talked about what a treat it was to wake up on Christmas and find an Orange and other fruit. To have such fruit so far from where it grew in that

I wonder if their mom’s told them that Santa has a special key or that he uses a window like we do

I absolutely love this. The way kids were so innocent and how the tradition keeps going and evolving.
