old-fashioned toys

 

The Ranching Heritage Center offers a glimpse of a pioneer Christmas during the 36th annual Candlelight at the Ranch. Luminarias light the paths around the historic structures, where volunteers recreate holiday scenes of trimming trees with home-made decorations, playing traditional music and gathering around the campfire on a cold winter’s night.  This cowboy whittles toys just like boys and girls might have gotten more than 100 years ago.  I don't think people taking pictures with their iphones appreciated what living was like by candle or kerosene light!
