A Pictorial Look at the Last 100 Years of Christmas

By: donkeysosa on 12/23/08 @ 3:39 pm

As I was putting this together, I found it eerie how, despite the vast changes that have taken place over the last Century, the crux of Christmas has remained the same.  The Christmas of 1900 looks essentially the same as the Christmas of 2008.  I found it fascinating ,and I hope you will too.  Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones.

About the author

donkeysosa

Like Shakespeare? Milton? Beef Meximelts? Then DonkeySosa's for you. Donk's brilliant prose has been lighting up the Internets since the 1950s. That's right, the 50s - he's just THAT GOOD folks. Comedic geniuses such as Chris Rock, Dane Cook, and Carrot Top often turn to him for inspiration, and the ladies dig him because his case of micro-phallus makes for great chatter at cocktail parties.

    nothing says christmas like jeri curls and fur coats

    I think I remember an older Christmas blog of yours where we discussed the use of candles as Christmas tree ornaments. I still don’t understand the thought behind that idea.

    As for this blog, man, it brings back memories…

  3. Trisha says:

    I’m so glad they have genetically mutated/engineered Christmas trees so they look more full…

    Seriously, thanks for this- I needed a smile today.

    ps Tinsel sucks!

    ;)
