EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming vintage print titled ""Can you see him?"- December 1946" we are transported back to a simpler time filled with childlike wonder and anticipation. Two adorable children, clad in cozy nightwear, stand before an enchanting fireplace adorned with festive decorations. With eyes wide open and excitement sparkling in their gaze, they peer up the chimney in hopes of catching a glimpse of Father Christmas himself. The image captures the essence of childhood innocence and belief in the magical realm of Santa Claus. The brickwork surrounding the inglenook fireplace exudes warmth and comfort, while the bressumer beam above adds a touch of rustic charm to this idyllic scene. The children's pajamas and nightdress further emphasize their readiness for bed on this special Christmas Eve. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as a delightful reminder of cherished holiday traditions passed down through generations. It transports us back to a time when joy was found in simple pleasures like waiting for Santa's arrival by the fireside. As we admire this snapshot from history, let us embrace its timeless message: that even amidst challenging times, there is always room for hope, imagination, and believing in something greater than ourselves.
