In this heartwarming print from December 1937, we are transported back in time to witness a charming scene of an elderly couple collecting mistletoe at Camelsdale. The George Garland Collection captures the essence of their joyous Christmas preparations amidst the picturesque West Sussex countryside. The couple, adorned in cozy scarves and caps, exude a sense of contentment as they engage in cheerful conversation. Their cardigans provide warmth against the winter chill while their walking sticks offer support during their festive excursion. The gentleman dons a straw hat, adding a touch of old-world charm to the scene. Nostalgia fills the air as we observe this snapshot frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when holiday traditions were cherished with utmost sincerity and simplicity. Despite being labeled "elderly" these individuals radiate happiness and vitality that transcends age.
