Christmas At The Corner

“Here I am at The Corner Bar all decked out and ready to sit on Santa’s lap. (Santa was played by a regular patron of the bar). We’d stop on the way to my grandparents’ house, and every year I’d check to see if the reindeer were atop the roof of the bar. If that’s not Christmas magic, I’m not sure what is.”

Shady Santa

“Growing up, we celebrated Christmas Eve at my grandmother’s house and Santa always showed up. I’m not sure where this one came from but I remember thinking how odd he seemed…”

Sleepy Santa

“I have no idea where this was taken but I love how Santa just threw on a Christmas sweater then slept on us during the picture.”

Red Christmas

“In the 1950s, my dad’s relatives would take turns each Christmas dressing up as Santa Claus to surprise the kids, complete with this not-so-jolly rubber Santa mask.”

He Also Sees You When You’re Sleeping

“This is a photo of me and my two sisters with Santa Claus, and there was some random guy who was looking through the window as the photo was taken. We didn’t realize he was in there ’til we got the photos back.”

Santa Got Run Over By A Reindeer

“This picture was taken in about 1952. The boy sitting on the lap of ‘Santa’ is my husband’s cousin, Teddy. ‘Santa’ is ‘Uncle Bob’ who apparently didn’t notice that his mask was melting off. My husband thankfully doesn’t remember any of this. No word if little Teddy ever recovered from the trauma.”
