Before we toss the tree to the curb in 2016, check out the vintage holiday images in the Hospitals & Health Networks Throwback Thursday feature that depict a cold, elegant Boston City Hospital in the last century.

“Christmas trees lighted by electric bulbs” and decorated with gifts for every patient spruced up the convalescent wards," accordign to "A History of the Boston City Hospita.l"
From February 1, 1912, through January 31, 1913, the hospital treated almost 13,000 people with an average of 550 residents per day.
