Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
These Christmas greeting cards were probably sent to a local family in the 1930s and 40s. There are no dates to indicate when they were mailed. Some are the shape ornaments to used on the Christmas tree. A couple are on aluminum foil. Two have Christmas stories by Phillips Brooks and John Greenleaf Whittier.
Here’s hoping that your Christmas is as Happy as can be
And you find everything you want beneath your Christmas tree!
Santa carries his sack full of toys.
The card has the story of “The Voice of the Christ Child’ by Phillips Brooks.
“Snowbound” by James Greenleaf Whittier.
A map of the journey where Mary and Joseph traveled showing the place where Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
Friendly and Hearty Good Wishes to You.
Greetings from house to house and door to door.
