Before there were curated traditions, matching pajamas, and minimalism entered the room, the holidays were a lot messier than they are now, back when people didn’t care too much about posing.
There was wrapping paper all over the floor, people had one too many drinks, and no one cared enough about taking the time to get camera ready, they had fun in their own ways and they celebrated spontaneity.
Every photo is filled with smiles, but also lots of tinsel, cigarette smoke, and maybe stickiness from all the sugary beverages that were around. The true vibes of vintage holidays.
1
No wrapping paper
Ran out of wrapping paper so this was the next big thing.
2
Santa after hours
Because it doesn't get messier than Alice Cooper as Santa.

Holiday spirits, literally
Tree is up and he has chosen where he wants to be.

A concerning gift
There was an urgent family meeting after opening the gifts.
5
Chaos everywhere
The more people, the bigger the mess.
6
Questionable sweaters and hairsyles
And smiles that look a little forced.

Future rock star
But right now, a nightmare to anyone who lives in the same house.
8
Unwrapping presents
The beer and cig in hand were necessary.
9
A holiday toast
A very diverse group, but at least their drinks are full.
10
The mess of Christmas day
Packaging is shredded but at least we got the goods.
11
A very happy dinner
Everyone's too busy with their own business to smile for the pic.

Dancing with lampshades
Festive romance means dancing in any state.
13
Living room shenanigans
Kids around and adults questioning everything.
14
Cleaning up the trifle
When everyone leaves and dignity is no longer important.

Christmas morning aftermath
A living room that lost the war.

Armed and ready
Their faces mean business.
