It is assumed that this photo and the next photo show the same young girl at two different Christmases. Looks like Santa was very generous to her.

We wonder if this and the next photo show the same young boy. Santa was generous to him also. Notice in 2017.15.248 the blocks on the floor that spells out “JOHN WM 1929”. Wonder who the young man is. If you have any ideas, let us know.
