A late-Victorian family gather for a charmingly awkward photo around their turkey feast. Women in glamorous fur coats stroke hosiery in a 1950s department store.

But there are others that aren''t so different after all: lovers swap gifts, children build gingerbread houses and a family ends the day rosy-cheeked and full of cheer.
