Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

It’s officially the season of twinkling lights, hot cocoa, and endless holiday cheer. But you know what really gets me in the spirit? A stroll down memory lane. Today, we’re serving up a dose of nostalgia with some seriously charming vintage Christmas photos from Columbus. They’re the perfect mix of festive vibes and old-school charm. I’m talking about iconic downtown decorations (hello, Lazarus window displays), holiday parades, and cozy holiday magic.
