Frankly, we've been merry-making all weekend and we're not in the mood to write a proper blog post this week. Instead, we're going to share with you some of our favorite Christmas- and New Year's-related finds from the archives of small repositories. 

(Not satisfied? Review last year's holiday-themed posts about Belsnickel, AmChem's debt program, or the Mummers.)

The image at the top is from the Spring-Ford Area Historical Society.

Let's not forget New Year's! In Philadelphia, that can mean only one thing: Mummers.

A print of the mummers parade in 1888 (before it was official), from a scrapbook at the Mummers Museum.

A more modern view of the Mummers Parade: photo of an Elvis-themed routine from the Mummers Museum.
