A typical Danish Christmas Eve in my childhood home. Father has lit the candles, the doors have been opened and the family let in for the traditional dancing and singing around the Christmas tree. Left to right: Myself disguised as "Yule man", sister Lene, neighbour and occasional nanny Marie, uncle Richard, eldest brother Elon and our father Frode. The picture was shot by brother Leon - and our mother Lily had probably found an excuse for not being on the photo... ;) Home of Lily & Frode Hansen, Kildebrønde, Denmark, 24.12.1959. Analogue photo by Leon Frode Hansen. Scanned and edited by Finn Frode Hansen.

My elder sister Lene and me on the sledge with Marie, a neighbour who occasionally babysitted us. As I recall it there was always much more snow in the winters back then - or was it just because I was smaller? ;) My parents' market gardening farm in Kildebrønde, Denmark. Analogue photo by Frode Hansen, prob. shot early 1955.

A smalholder family posing for the travelling photographer in their Sunday best. Hans Jørgensen with his wife Birthe and children Hans and Marie. Hans Jørgensen did not have enough land to the sustain a family, but worked on neighbouring farms to make a living. The daughter Marie never maried, but stayed all her life in the old house without any modern conveniences. She had all kinds of casual jobs like washing and sowing and when my parents moved to the village, she also came to work in their market garden. She was also our family's occasional babysitter and it is actually her pulling the sledge on the picture I posted yesterday... ;) Hans Jørgensen (1859-1913), Birthe Sofie Hansen (1869-1948?). Hans Kristen Johannes Jørgensen (1904-?). Ane Marie Jørgensen (1905-1978). Strøhusvej 12, Kildebrønde, Denmark. Original 1912 photo by: Chr. A. Jensen, Baadsmandsstræde 29, 3, København C, 1912.
