In a 1955 image by Getty photographer Al Barry, Santa was revealed as mass-produced, with conveyor belts of Santa heads, questioning the commercialization of Christmas.
The book 'A Very Vintage Christmas' showcases the evolution of Christmas traditions from 1900 to 1980, revealing conformity in festive celebrations across generations.
The nostalgic photography collection highlights traditions like novelty cracker twisters and chocolate Santas, juxtaposing the joy of kitsch against memories of wartime Christmases.
The collection emphasizes a striking reminder that while we cherish unique family traditions, the core elements of Christmas have remained surprisingly uniform over decades.
