Family Traditions and the Old Photos that Document them
This is my father on the left, with my grandfather, uncle and grandmother. For some reason, our family would always pose for a family picture at holidays around whatever roast we were about to eat.
Maybe something to do with the humble, immigrant background and celebrating the prosperity in a large roast? They became known as “meat pictures.”
This is the earliest example I’ve seen, but the tradition continues.
And that’s my grandmother’s writing on the edge noting the date! ~shared by @kjbenven
