Pictures From Christmas Past (35 photos)

With only a few days left until Christmas, I thought it might be fun to take a look at celebrations and preparations from years past. Gathered here is a collection of images of all things Christmas: decorated trees, shoppers, Santas, gifts, family gatherings, carolers, parades— even a bear and a flying saucer, from the early 1900s through the 1990s.

Two young women display their holiday hairdos, each with 42-inch hair decorated with tinsel and ornaments, circa 1960. Claudette Ackrich’s hair is decorated with tinsel, and Giselle Roc’s hairstyle consists of Christmas tree balls. (Bettmann / Getty)
