Something about the holiday season makes us all a little bit more nostalgic than the rest of the year. Maybe it’s the classic Christmas songs playing everywhere we go, or just looking back at our own memories with our families from over the years. Whatever the case may be, there’s no denying reflecting on the past adds another heartwarming glow to all the festivities.

To celebrate that feeling, we dug through archives of adorable holiday photos from the 1950s.
