Happy Holidays

 "How have things changed and how have they remained the same" is one of my favorite big historical questions to ask students to ponder--and it's a question that has special resonance around the holidays.

Take this picture of Mrs. Leo Jensen, Herluff Strandskov, Leo Jensen, Miss Jensen, Mrs. Alfred Jensen, and Mrs. Leo Jensen bringing in the new year at the home of the Jensen's in Dagmar, Montana, December 31, 1964. How does it, or doesn't it, resemble your own holiday celebrations? 

However you do (or don't) celebrate the holidays, I wish you and yours all health and happiness in 2025.
