The year is 1958. Jingle Bell Rock and Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree were big favorites on the radio that Christmas. And yours truly was the four year-old North Jersey boy waiting by the fireplace for Santa Claus to make his way from the North Pole. Christmas is always better in color!

Enjoy this nostalgic look back at Christmas in Morris County, New Jersey – just 30 miles due west of New York City.

ROCKEFELLER CENTER (1940)

Welcome to American Photo Colorizing.com’s photo blog. We colorize black & white photos for museums, media, multi-media, and families like yours.

A visit to our website gets you started: http://www.americanphotocolorizing.com

The year is 1940. There’s nothing quite like Christmas in New York. From the Radio City Rockettes to the window displays at Macy’s in Herald Square. From Harlem to Little Italy, New York City becomes a magical place from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve. Of course, at Christmas, a visit to Rockefeller Center is a must. Ice skaters perfect their figure-8s in the glow of the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. On one side of the rink towers the majestic “30 Rock”, home of NBC television – where from an open window many stories above the street, Late Night host, David Letterman used to delight in hurling watermelons to the pavement below. This 1940 image of Rockefeller Center at Christmas gave me an opportunity to go with a more artsy colorizing flourish. For me, this approach has captured the magic that is the Big Apple at Christmas.

Christmas is coming on like Gangbusters. It’s time to look through your family photo collection. A beautifully-colorized image of your ancestors (suitable for enlarging and framing) makes a wonderful keepsake for the entire family. This year, “Give the Christmas Present of Christmas Past!”

MACY’S PARADE – SANTA CLAUS (1966)

Welcome to American Photo Colorizing .com’s photo blog. We colorize black & white photos for museums, media, multi-media, and families like yours. A visit to our website gets you started: http://www.americanphotocolorizing.com

The year is 1966 – and this is definitely Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Macy’s began holding what was then Macy’s Christmas Parade in 1924. Originally, the balloons were released to the heavens at the parade’s end. This short tradition ended in 1932 as a safety measure to protect aviators. Television spread the acclaim of the Macy’s Parade, shortly after World War II ended. By the time this 1966 photo of Santa Claus, the Macy’s Parade was as much a part of our modern Thanksgiving celebration as turkey, pumpkin pie, and football.

Christmas will sneak up on you before you know it. It isn’t too early to start looking through your family photo collection. A beautifully-colorized image of your ancestors (suitable for enlarging and framing) makes a wonderful keepsake for the entire family. This year, “Give the Christmas Present of Christmas Past!”

SANTA CLAUS & HIS BURRO (1920)

Welcome to American Photo Colorizing.com’s photo blog. It’s Christmas Eve 2013, at the time of this writing. We want to give you a few extra Christmas goodies in your stocking (an American tradition). So, along with our Before & After Photo Comparison, you’ll find lots of vintage Christmas magazine covers.

Come visit our website for 100s of colorized photos in our Gallery: http://www.americanphotocolorizing.com

The year is 1920. Here’s a slimmer St. Nick than the jelly-bellied Coca Cola “Sundblom Santa” we’re familiar with in the United States. It’s likely this photo was taken in Europe, perhaps Germany. Since this is Christmas Eve, I’ll leave you to enjoy the Before & After images of Santa – and the assorted goodies from the American Photo Colorizing vaults. And too all a “Good Night”!
