Photograph caption dated December 25, 1957 reads, "Paper and presents were scattered by Burbank twins Alan and Alana Hartgraves, 16 months old, of 1506 N. Catalina Ave. In early morning hours, twins are more interested in making breakfast out of gifts. Throughout Valley families were awakened in morning darkness by youngsters rushing to see what Santa Claus had left under tree. Later they gathered quietly in churches to express their gratitude at the true meaning of Christmas."
