Season's greetings! It’s that time of year when the weather is colder, the days are shorter, “and Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.”
Here we see what Christmas morning would have looked like at North Vancouver photographer Jack Cash’s home in Central Lonsdale in the 1950s. The boys, Brian, Derek and David Cash, are eagerly opening presents and we see them here trying on their newly unwrapped shoes.
What activities or traditions does your family enjoy this time of year?
