A young boy in a sailor suit stands on a step stool, carefully hanging small toys on a Christmas tree, with the care of someone who knows exactly where each one belongs. The gallery places the scene in the Christmas Eve morning sequence, the hours when many households finished decorating before the holiday. Sailor suits were a popular fashion for boys in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, so the outfit itself dates the scene and suggests a family comfortable enough to dress a child in formal clothes for the occasion. Look closely at the tree and the toys: the ornaments show how homes once brought the holiday indoors.
