Scope and content
ca. 1957. Santa and his prancing reindeer, six choir boys and a quartet of angels are illuminated on a winter's evening as these cutouts are propped up before the Hopkins' residence. One large picture window of the home, unusual in its semi-circular shape, is opened to display the glittering Christmas tree. The Christmas cutouts are made of wood and could easily have been constructed using simple instructions from a kit. The 50's was still the decade of the do-it-yourselfer and many families found that they were skilled enough to create their own holiday decorations, without the help of professionals. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association. See A111074-3 for daylight version of this photograph.
