Description
Black and white photograph of a huge decorated Christmas tree with large gift-wrapped boxes at its base and two toddler-aged boys standing amongst the gifts. A new tree was put up every year at the corner of La Paz and Chrisanta by the Mission Viejo Company until a permanent tree was planted in the 1980s. In the photograph, the Christmas tree is flocked with large shiny ball-ornaments. On either side of the Christmas tree are smaller, regular, undecorated trees. The two toddler boys standing next to the large wrapped gift boxes both have their fingers in their mouths and are looking in opposite directions. The gift boxes come up to the waist of one boy and the shoulders of the other. On the back of the photograph are various handwritten numbers, "1981, 202, 49%, 100%, P20060109.09A."
