'Twas the Season, Part 1
(Editor's note: This entry was originally posted on December 10, 2009.)
I’m browsing the Web for old Christmas photos and posting the ones I like.
This photo by Martha Holmes shows a training seminar for Santas at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. The Santa Claus in charge is delivering a lecture to the student Santas. Note the ash trays in front of the students. It was a different era.
The photo was published in Life magazine in 1948.
I’ll be posting these for the next few days as I come across them. So, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and all other appropriate greetings and felicitations of the season.
