The Christmas tree - most of us throw some version of it up around this time. Decorated with lights, tinsil, and whatever other merry little thing that catches our eye, some might say how we adorn it mirrors how we adorn our own lives - and as how we live evolves, so is reflected in the way we decorate our tree. So in honor of the past and old traditions (the good kind), let's take a little jaunt down memory lane and have a look at a few vintage trees of yesteryear! Feel free to post your own, too!

(the boys-and girls-of Summer, 1910) My phone shows me the weirdest stuff out of nowhere when I open it, and a lot of it's interesting, like the many pictures ON THIS SITE. Old B&W photos are gorgeous, but no matter how bright the sun, the sky always looks gray, so these colorized versions are fascinating to me.  (a Packard firetruck avec ensemble in 1911) (moms, kids and dads on the beach in Asbury Park, NJ in 1911) But there's also some pretty cool pictures still in B&W, in particular this one: (American boxer Kid Johnson after teaching boxing to the police of Helsinki, Finland in 1912) The only thing wrong with this picture is that they all need to be sans undies, and Mr. Kid Johnson needs to be standing erect, completely naked and turgid (or at least semi-tumescent)! Happy OP, darlings, let's have some fun! Photos: Getty Images via The Scroller/Reddit
