Vintage London Holiday Vibes
Can we all have a less plastic Christmas please?
Personally, I am in the mood for a vintage holiday spirit.
I somehow felt it soooo intensely while decorating the tree with several of our more than 70 years old glass toys that survived all the craziness of post war - Soviet - post Soviet Russia in my grandparents' family and have been successfully dragged through my long immigration odissey.
These stunning photos I am sharing tonight are from the 1930s and the 40s. They are testament to Londoners’ enduring joy at Christmas and I found them while going through some old articles of the Evening Standard.
I fell in love with this selection and, by posting it, I would really like to contribute to creating a less fake atmosphere that we all seem to need so much at the moment!
