Christmas in the backyard

December 1958

A family Christmas in our back yard in Opawa. I am showing off my new scooter, my sister Jenny has a cane dolls pram and my cousin Wayne has a carpentry set. I can't see what his brother Chris has. My dad has obviously just painted the shed as I can see the 'wet paint' sign propped against it.

Christmas Day 1975

25 December 1975

Reynolds family eating Christmas lunch at a dining table.
Contributor's note: "Christmas day with my family at my parents' house. Dad again in polo shirt and shorts. Traditional roast lunch on the table, with a bottle of sparkling wine. Real pine tree in the corner. Net curtains and a "dried arrangement" on the wall. Formica table & steel tube chairs. My nephew going through his "pull a face at the camera" phase!"

Highly commended: 2013 Christchurch City Libraries Photo Hunt.

Judge's comment: "The images give us a real sense of how the family lived their life. It was interesting to see what events were chosen as important moments, holidays, snow, learning to ride a bike, the simple pleasures of sharing a meal or a BBQ and family interactions in their lounge."
