Comments:
This is from the same Christmas as the photo I posted from our Austrian friend Richard. 1911. A century ago. Blows me away every time I actually stop and think about it. Frankly, although it’s unlikely that little Virginia is still with us, it’s not impossible, which also gives me pause (in a good way).

Merry Christmas, little Virginia, wherever you are! And to you, Matt!
Thanks, Paul. You, too!
Happy holidays, Matt!
Thanks, Katie, you too!
Divine! Unusual clothes for a child to be wearing in any era, I’d say.
She certainly is dolled up, isn’t she?
