Two children dressed as angels stand on tiptoe to hang ornaments on a Christmas tree, the scene set at night, when the tree was typically lit and admired after dark. Pictures of children in angel costumes were a familiar theme in holiday imagery from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when the Christmas tree had become a household fixture in American homes. The setting underscores the ritual of trimming the tree as a shared family event, with the costumes adding a sense of innocence and festive wonder.
