Digital History: Stories from Maine Memory Network

 
Santa and children, Portland, 1926. MMN #18346
Everyone here at MHS wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas! While Santa's sleigh has probably had a few upgrades since this 1926 version, his appearance has remained much the same over time. So, too, children's fascination with that snowy white beard.

As you gear up to wrap your last few presents (or all of them!), hang your stockings with care, and set out a plate of cookies for the jolly old elf, take a few moments to enjoy this exhibit on Maine Memory about the various images, symbols, and icons we associate with the Christmas holiday.
