...in a two-horse open sled? Well, that's not quite how the song is supposed to go. At any rate, it was a very cold day when this photo was shot, with a family posing in their (presumably) sled. I thought it'd be a good one for a modern Christmas day post!
The photographer must have been shivering, because the photo isn't terribly clear. I've tried to figure out what's written on the side of the sled; it's either the brand of the sled, or the owner's business. The first word appears to be "New", but the rest is indecipherable to me. If you have any ideas, please comment below!
This winter street scene in what appears to be a western town (sparse pine trees and rocks in the distance suggest a scene typical of New Mexico or Idaho) is accompanied by a puzzling pencil inscription: "Parsonage first, Bullis in distance." Presumably, then the nearby house is some church's parsonage, and the house farther away belongs to a family with the surname Bullis.
