They were all born on Christmas Day, just like these adorable babies, seen shortly after entering the world in Sheffield.
All the babies pictured were born at Sheffield’s Jessop Wing maternity unit, or Jessop Hospital before that, on December 25 during the 90s, noughties or 2010s.
They were the best Christmas present their proud parents could have wished for, and one that certainly wasn’t delivered by Santa.
These babies are all grown up now and some may even have children of their own but December 25 will always be extra special for them.
Among the babies pictured in this retro photo gallery are two called Holly, appropriately for the season, but there is no Ivy, Robin or Rudolph.
