Titled simply *Christmas Time*, this picture belongs to a long tradition of holiday scenes that spread through greeting cards, magazines and illustrated papers, especially from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. By then Christmas was becoming a home-centered holiday, with decorated evergreens, gift giving and family gatherings replacing older, rowdier celebrations. Images like this helped set the visual language we still link with the season. Look at how the scene brings together family, warmth and celebration as one idea.
