EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Holly gathering, December 1932" takes us back to a simpler time in the rural countryside of West Sussex. The image, part of the George Garland Collection at the West Sussex Record Office, beautifully captures the essence of a joyful Christmas season. In this enchanting scene, we see a group of happy individuals gathered amidst nature's winter wonderland. A young girl stands at the center, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she holds a bundle of freshly picked holly branches. Surrounding her are towering trees adorned with glistening snowflakes, creating an idyllic backdrop for this festive moment. The charm of country living is evident in every detail - from the wellington boots worn by those present to the grandfatherly figure who watches over them all with warmth and love. Their rosy cheeks and bundled-up attire hint at chilly temperatures but fail to dampen their spirits as they engage in this timeless tradition. As we gaze upon this snapshot from nearly nine decades ago, it serves as a reminder that joy can be found even in simple pleasures. It transports us to a time when family bonds were cherished above all else and community connections were nurtured through shared experiences like these. This print is not just an archival treasure; it encapsulates the spirit of Christmas past while inspiring us to create our own lasting memories amid nature's beauty today.
