Millie & Billie Roundbottom: The adopted twins of Fred & Anna Roundbottom.
Millie & Billie's parents had already passed away in a farming accident
when this photo was taken in 1893.
Fred & Anna, prominent residents in the community, were without children
so they were happy to accept the little ones.
They were very good parents who promoted the Santa tradition in their home.
This photo was titled " Millie & Billie waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve".

My question is this: If they are waiting for Santa, why didn't Fred & Anna
tell them that he wouldn't be coming down a chimney with a blazing fire?

THIS IS MY HOLIDAY GREETINGS TO ALL !!!
p.s. but don't have a fire in the fireplace on Christmas Eve!
