EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to a simpler time, where the excitement of Christmas was in full swing. The image showcases a young girl diligently posting cards into a pillarbox adorned with a festive signpost that reads "Post Early for Christmas". It is evident that she takes her task seriously, carefully ensuring each card finds its way into the waiting mailbox. The nostalgia exuding from this scene is palpable. The 1930s setting evokes feelings of warmth and sentimentality as we imagine the heartfelt messages contained within those letters. This snapshot captures not only an era but also the timeless tradition of sending holiday greetings to loved ones near and far. As we gaze upon this charming print, it serves as a gentle reminder of how much has changed over the years. In our fast-paced digital age, where instant communication reigns supreme, there is something undeniably special about receiving tangible tokens of affection through snail mail. This photo encapsulates the essence of Christmas spirit - spreading love and joy through handwritten words on beautifully crafted cards. It invites us to pause and reflect on cherished memories while igniting anticipation for future celebrations filled with laughter and shared moments. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this remarkable piece offers an enchanting glimpse into history while reminding us to embrace both old traditions and new technologies during this magical season.
