Ebenezer Scrooge here. All I have to say about 2020 is, “bah humbug.”

Just kidding, but we are going to have a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past this morning — past pictures that is. Raleigh has a few holiday photos worth a share to remember the good times of togetherness + the holidays of years long past.

Pictures hold a lot of memories, including everything from the good, the bad, and the down right holly jolly. Let’s see what the Oak City looked like in previous years around the holidays.
