60 Nostalgic Christmas Pictures From Every Year Through 1940-1999

It’s crazy to think people have been celebrating Christmas pretty much the same way all the way back to 1940.

Presents under the tree, family dinners, and taking pictures documenting it all. I still look back at some of my Christmas morning pictures from the 80s and it makes me smile.

These nostalgic pics take us on a ride through the decades of pure happiness and Christmas spirit that seems timeless.
