Photograph caption dated December 25, 1959 reads, "Christmas Day everywhere, and especially in the Valley, puts an abrupt end to weeks of children's waiting and anticipating and initiates the beginning of an era of new bicycles on sidewalks, and new toys for children (and adults) to enjoy. Twins, Robert and Carol Davies, 10-year-olds of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Davies of Van Nuys, join this happy throng, with new sleeping bags and transistor radios and other gifts found under their tree this morning."
