EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photo print, we are transported back in time to a festive scene in the rural countryside of Upperton, Sussex. It is December 1935, and a man accompanied by three young girls can be seen joyfully gathering holly in the woods. The image captures the essence of Christmas spirit as they embark on their seasonal quest. The setting itself exudes tranquility and natural beauty. Towering trees surround them, creating an idyllic backdrop for their adventure. The crisp winter air adds a touch of magic to the atmosphere, while the earthy tones of nature harmonize with their traditional attire. As they carefully select each sprig of holly, one can imagine their anticipation building for the upcoming festivities. Perhaps these vibrant decorations will soon adorn mantelpieces or doorways, bringing warmth and cheer to homes throughout Sussex. This photograph from the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office allows us a glimpse into simpler times when holiday traditions were deeply rooted in nature's bounty. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling cityscapes today, there is still solace to be found in venturing into our own local woodlands during this special season
