EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting print from 1933, we are transported back to a simpler time when Christmas preparations were filled with joy and wonder. The image captures a young lady in her cozy coat, eagerly gathering holly for the upcoming festivities. With a mischievous smile on her face, she jumps over a low wall or fence, perhaps exploring the rural countryside in search of the perfect holiday decoration. The winter landscape sets the scene for this nostalgic yuletide moment. The air is crisp and cold, but that doesn't dampen the fun as our protagonist braves the elements to collect nature's own adornments. The charm of this bygone era is palpable as we imagine how these simple gestures brought warmth and cheer to homes during Christmas celebrations. The George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office has preserved this delightful snapshot of history for us to cherish. It reminds us of traditions passed down through generations - finding beauty in simplicity and embracing nature's gifts during this special season. As we gaze upon this image, let it transport us back to an era where life moved at a slower pace; where gathering holly was not just about decorations but also about connecting with nature and creating memories that would last a lifetime. Let it inspire us to infuse our modern celebrations with some old-fashioned magic – taking time to appreciate the little things that make Christmas truly special.
