Ah, Christmas. What a magical time of the year. The tree is on display; decorations are everywhere. Presents are waiting to be placed at the bottom. And many, many kids around the world are recreating the story of the birth of Jesus Christ.
And if you are a family who dives into this age-long tradition, you hope that at least one of the children is female, so they can play the Virgin Mary. This family had that privilege and was able to reimagine the Nativity many years later. In fact, we heard they do this every single year! ‘Tis the season, after all!
Too Close for Comfort
You can tell that we are going back to the 80s for this throwback. Truth be told, this pair of siblings look like they could be dating. The chemistry is off the charts! Maybe that’s why their mother doesn’t look so impressed by the situation.
We hope this relationship didn’t blossom into some Lannister arrangement from “Game of Thrones.” If you saw the show, you get the unbearable reference. On the other hand, we’re sure it’s just an innocent peck on the cheek and nothing more, and that it’s always been this way between them. At least, we hope so.
A 30-Year Friendship
As we age, keeping in touch with friends becomes a constant struggle. With work, family, and every other bump in the road that comes our way, hanging out with friends seems to fall in line with blue moons and the Hale-Bopp comet passing close to Earth. That’s why this recreated childhood photo is so special.
The original photo of these two youngsters shows them in elementary school. The original is already so moving on its own and shows how close the two’s personalities are. Fast forward to the present day and as you can see, not much has changed. Hopefully, in another 30 years, they can make a new recreation, if such a trend is a thing in 30 years.
Spot On
Children's birthday parties used to have a very specific itinerary: you invite your friends over, you sing, play games, have some cake, and when everyone's gone you get to open the presents. It was all innocent yet fulfilling. This brother and sister duo somehow managed to recreate that magic many years after this birthday party photo was taken.
Not only did the two find headpieces and clothes to match the original picture, they even made sure the details in the background are the same. They even went as far as putting the leaf in the top right corner. Such commitment!
80s Kids Forever!
Listen to this: these two siblings did a “then-and-now” to celebrate Mother’s Day. And you won’t believe the lengths they went to in order to bring that 1986 original photo back to life. They even returned to their old, childhood house in New Orleans to make it happen.
Except for the fact that the sister has since dyed her hair blue, it’s pretty uncanny! The brother’s still digging for gold, they’re still holding their lunch boxes, and they are both matching tank tops and shorts – we assume for school. Oh, and the tables have turned in terms of the height difference.
