The Santa Photos Nobody Wanted
Getting a photo taken while sitting on Santa's lap can be awkward in the best of circumstances, but these misfit shots are another level of Christmas weird. They were taken in the 1950s and 1960s in small towns on the Oregon coast, but never claimed. A photographer donated the negatives to the Oregon Historical Society.
