A big "Thank You" to Dennis Dixson for sharing this endearing photo of his Christmas morning 1957. This is what life used to look like in the 1950's.

In the right hand side of the photo we can see Dennis' childhood Sock Monkey.

In the foreground is what used to be called a hobby horse. And, check out the vintage Pepsi-Cola sign in the far left hand side of the photograph. This photo was probably taken with a Kodak Brownie or similar point and shoot model of the era.

Nostalgia, at its best.
