Absolutely beautiful pictures that truly capture the Holiday Spirit! Quite a wondrous difference from when I lived on the Hill throughout the 1940's and early 50's. Although some things never change. Ice skating on the Frog Pond is one of my fondest winter memories......Sledding down the hills, right onto Cambridge Street is another one. (Of course there were hardly any cars back then)
