Christmas on Main Street, 1976
I have a folder with quite a few Disneyland-Christmas scans; but some are less exciting than others. Today's two examples are perfectly nice, with a family posing on Main Street, with the big Christmas tree reduced to colorful bokeh dots. In photography, "bokeh" refers to the aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus areas of an image, especially the background, often characterized by soft, smooth, and pleasing visuals. It's derived from the Japanese word "boke" meaning "blur" or "haze".
Finally, all those other family members have continued on, and mom can pose with her daughter. The kid that she likes! OK, now I feel guilty, what if the now-grown boy sees this post (I'm sure he's a fan) and I make him sad? I'm sorry, kid!

Major-
These images are making it hard for me to get into the Christmas spirit where it appears only one member is grinning. (Maybe that's what the Christmas tree actually looks like in-person, which would at least be a reason for so many sullen faces).
Thanks, Major.
This appears to be a very artsy and serious family; judging by their expressions and poses. Although, the gal on the left has a normal (and nice) smile... she must be the black sheep of the family.
I do like the warm glow in these photos. The blur at the bottom makes it look like the family is standing in a bonfire. 8-\
Hmm, more pensive seriousness. At least they're not standing in a bonfire anymore. I wonder if all photos of this family are as somber as these two? Cheer up, ladies. You're at the Happiest Place On Earth!
Like Nanook, I have mixed feelings about these photos; mostly pleasant, but kinda eerie too. Maybe they're relatives of Gomez and Morticia? Thanks, Major.
You know how sometimes, on GDB, we wonder why a family got rid of their priceless photos/slides? In this case, we don't have to wonder.
I actually like these because they are so 'different.' Thanks, Major.
