Some 20th Century Christmas pics

[PringleTree]

Here's a few Christmas and snow pics I've collected over the years. I thought you guys might enjoy. Unfortunately, except for the last image the subjects are unidentified.

The first is a patient in 1939 at San Haven Sanatorium, a TB treatment facility for the State of North Dakota located near Dunseith. It later became a home for the developmentally disabled. It was closed and abandoned in 1987. This 2012 post ( link below) offers views of the ruins. I believe the ruins have recently been razed.

The second pic is naughty Santa eying some shapely ankles.

The 2nd & 3rd from the bottom are a faded Kodacolor snapshot that I color-corrected a bit.

The last pic is a Kodachrome slide of my family at my grandparents' house at Christmas, about 1961. It shows what happens when you take a flash shot into a mirror. My Mom (1935-2020) is holding me, then there's my brother Bill (b. 1956), and my Dad (1931-2012) who was all but obliterated by the flash.

Thanks for looking,

Chris
