#HolidayHeritage Challenge Week #2

Last week, we introduced the #HolidayHeritage challenge! Visit the #HolidayHeritage Challenge site for more information on the competition, and for details of how you can enter the weekly challenges.

Last week’s winner

Last week, we asked you to send in your oldest holiday photos. We received some fabulous entries of historic family photos from the holidays.

Here are some of our favorites:

@MyHeritage This is my Grandmother. Photo taken in the late 1940's. She means the world to me, of course. Sadly, she passed last year. #holidayheritage pic.twitter.com/G36v8q9Z6p

This photo is from 2000 of my grandparents. They were the most loving people I knew. I remember Grandma helping my sister and I make strawberry shortcake, and she made the best fried okra! Grandpa would take us to the movies, and then take us to Thrifty's for some ice cream. I really miss those days. #holidayheritage

MyHeritage #HolidayHeritage Challenge! This is the only photo at Christmas with my daddy, Ludwig Reinhardt. Christmas 1958. Little did we know that a few months later he would be taken from us by Cancer.
