Wow, what a beautiful tree! Merry Christmas, Dave, and Merry Christmas to all in Shorpyland.

What everyone below said. A big "thank you", Dave, from Las Vegas.

Thank you so much for sharing all these marvelous photos with us.

Merry Christmas to all!

Pictures are, indeed, worth a thousand words and Shorpy is a regular stopover site for me.

Thanks for sharing all this, Dave.

Thank for for this wonderful image. My grandfather was ten years old that Christmas, probably about the size of the shorter of the two boys in the foreground. He also lived about fifteen blocks from Madison Square, so I imagine he was able to see this very tree that Christmas. Thanks again and merry Christmas.

Beautiful picture, Dave. May I add my thanks to you for providing us with these great pictures. I feel like I understand the world a little better after seeing these great glimpses into the past.

Is this hand colored?

And a huge thank you to Dave and the staff at Shorpy, you have, literally, changed my life.

Merry Christmas to all Shorpyites from Reading, England

That is beautiful! Thanks for all the great pics and Merry Christmas to everyone!!

For all the wonderful pictures and happy holidays right back at you!

Dave, a Merry Christmas to you! And thanks for your site -this has become my favorite. I look forward to checking for new photos every day, and I'm never disappointed. It's like having my own personal time machine. It's a blast!

How very often it is when we see a photo of an important event that Boy Scouts are present.

Merry Christmas, Shorpyites.

And thanking you for another year of incredible photos. You have given us a view into the past that few have ever had the chance to experience. You've changed my life.

Merry christmas Dave and to all who visit here.
