Inside Verse: May your home be filled with warmth and love this holiday season. Back Poem: It was a fortnight before Christmas, and every one agreed that this would be a real Christmas, such as had not been seen for many years. There was a delightful cold nip in the air, as exhilarating as good news; the sky was grey and overcast, and the streets were covered with a thick layer of snow. Few sights are more charming than that of a town covered with new-fallen, clean, white snow; and how pretty it is to watch the tiny flakes drift downward through the air as if there were a wedding in the sky and the fairies were throwing confetti. -Excerpt from The Mysterious Toyshop, pub. 1924. by Cyril W.

Merry Christmas Back Poem: My Dear Susie Clemens: ...I have received and read all the letters which you and your little sister have written me by the hand of your mother and your nurses; I have also read those which you little people have written me with your own hands for although you did not use any characters that are in the grown peoples alphabet, you used the characters that all children in all lands on earth and in the twinkling stars use; and as all my subjects in the moon are children and use no character but that, you will easily understand that I can read your and your baby sisters jagged and fantastic marks without any trouble at all...You will find that I made no mistakes about the things which you and the baby ordered in your own letters-I went down your chimney at midnight when you were asleep and delivered them all myself-and kissed both of you, too, because you are good children, well trained, nice mannered, and about the most obedient little people I ever saw. -Mark Twain as Santy Claus, (1835-1910) All Holiday Cards are 5 x 7, museum quality and feature 19th c. holiday imagery obtained from old scrapbooks and museum collections.

Christmas Greetings

Inside Verse: Hope your holidays find you waltzing in a Winter Wonderland! Back Poem: A Winter Piece And yet but lately have I seen, een here, The Winter in a lovely dress appear. For evry shrub, and evry blade of grass, And evry pointed thorn, seemd wrought in glass. In pearls and rubies rich the hawthorns show, While thro the ice the crimson berries glow. The thick-sprung reeds the watry marshes yield, Seem polishd lances in a hostile field. The stag in limpid currents with surprize Sees crystal branches on his forehead rise. The spreading oak, the beech, and towring pine, Glazd over, in the freezing aether shine,. The frighted birds the rattling branches shun, That wave and glitter in the distant sun. When if a sudden gust of wind arise, The brittle forest into atoms flies: The crackling wood beneath the tempest bends, And in a spangled showr the prospect ends. -Ambrose Philips All Holiday Cards are 5 x 7”, museum quality and feature 19th c. holiday imagery obtained from old scrapbooks and museum collections.

Then he came singing through the woods, And plucked the holly bright and green: Pulled here and there the ivys buds: Was sometimes hidden, sometimes seen- Half-buried neath the mistletoe, His long beard hung with flakes of snow: And still he ever carolled clear, Old Christmas comes but once a year! - Thomas Miller All Holiday Cards are 5 x 7”, museum quality and feature 19th c. holiday imagery obtained from old scrapbooks and museum collections.

Inside Verse: While Christmas bells are ringing, rich and poor, their voices raise, And a simple carol singing Wafts to heaven grateful praise. Back Poem: My soul, there is a country afar beyond the stars, Where stands a winged sentry all skillful in the wars. There, above noise and danger, sweet peace sits, crowned with smiles, And one born in a manger commands the beauteous files. He is thy gracious friend, and (O! my soul, awake!) Did in pure love descend, to die here for thy sake. If thou canst get but thither, there grows the flower of peace, The rose that cannot wither, the fortress, and thy ease. Leave, then, thy foolish ranges; for none can thee secure But One who never changes, thy God, thy Life, thy Cure. -Henry Vaughan, Christmas Poems, pub. 1897 All Holiday Cards are 5 x 7”, museum quality and feature 19th c. holiday imagery obtained from old scrapbooks and museum collections.
