Inside Verse: May all paths lead to home this holiday season. Back Poem: This is meeting time again. Home is the magnet. The winter land roars and hums with the eager speed of return journeys. The dark is noisy and bright with late-night arrivals Ð doors thrown open, running shadows on snow, open arms, kisses, voices and laughter, laughter at everything and nothing. Inarticulate, giddying and confused are those original minutes of being back again. The very familiarity of everything acts like shock. Contentment has to be drawn in slowly, steadyingly, in deep breaths Ð there is so much of it. We rely on home not to change, and it does not, wherefore we give thanks. Again Christmas: abiding point of return. Set apart by its mystery, mood and magic, the season seems in a way to stand outside time. All that is dear, that is lasting, renews its hold on us: we are home again... - Elizabeth Bowen (Excerpt from Home for Christmas.)

Inside Verse: Every Chirstmas Joy Be Thine Back Poem: The Holly Bough The Cheerful days of Spring are fine, when sunshine decks the hours, And blithesome summer, when we twine wreaths of the fairest flowers; But oh! tho bright the days of Spring, and Summers flowrets gay, Theres none that half the pleasure brings of merry Christmas Day! Tis then from house to house we roam to sing, as we do now, And on the mantlepiece at home we place the holly bough; And fires neer seem to burn so bright, nor hearts to be so gay, Nor feet to tread the ground so light, as on a Christmas Day! But cold and selfish should we be, and heartless, did we fail To wish that you as well as we, may merry be and hale! May he whose love has ever blest the righteous with its ray, Grant you all good - and midst the rest, a merry Christmas Day!

Inside Verse: May your holiday season be filled with many joyous treasures. Back Poem: A Dear Little Schemer There was a little daughter, once, whose feet were - oh, so small! That when the Christmas Eve came round, they wouldnt do at all. At least she said they wouldnt do, and so she tried anothers, and folding her wee stocking up, she slyly took her mothers. Ill pin this big one here, she said - then sat before the fire, Watching the supple, dancing flames and shadows darting by her, Till silently she drifted off to that queer land, you know, Of nowhere in particular, where sleepy children go. She never knew the tumult rare that came upon the roof! She never heard the patter of a single reindeer hoof; She never knew how Some One came and looked his shrewd surprise At her wee foot and the stocking - so different in size! She only knew, when morning dawned, that she was safe in bed, Its Christmas - ah! - and merrily she raised her pretty head; Then, with wild glee, she saw what dear Old Santa Claus had done, And ran to tell the joyful news to each and every one! Mama! Papa! Please come and look! a lovely doll, and all! And See how full the stocking is? Mine would have been too small! I borrowed this for Santa Claus. It isnt fair, you know, To make him wait forever for a little girl to grow. -by Mary Mapes Dodge (Poem obtained from St. Nicholas Illustrated, pub. 1897) All Holiday Cards are 5 x 7, museum quality and feature an array of 19th c. holiday imagery obtained from old scrapbooks and museum collections.

Inside Verse: Tidings of love to you and yours! Back Poem: A Letter From Santa Claus 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 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. But I had trouble with those letters which you dictated through your mother and the nurses, for I am a foreigner and cannot read English writing well. 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, 1835-1910(Excerpt from Palace of St. Nicholas) All Holiday Cards are 5 x 7”, museum quality and feature 19th c. holiday imagery obtained from old scrapbooks and museum collections.

Inside Verse: May you always be warm on the inside when its cold on the outside. Happiest of Holidays. Back Poem: I have slept upon my couch but my spirit did not rest, For the labours of the day yet my weary soul opprest. And before my dreaming eye still the learned volume lay, And I could not close their leaves and I could not turn away. But I opened my eyes at last, and I heard a muffled sound,Twas the night breeze come to say that the snow was on the ground. -by Anne Brontë (1820-1849) All Holiday Cards are 5 x 7”, museum quality and feature 19th c. holiday imagery obtained from old scrapbooks and museum collections.

Inside Verse: Noel Joyeux Back Poem: The Sparkling Bough The kindly Christmas tree, from which I trust every gentle reader has pulled a bonbon or two, is yet all aflame whilst I am writing, and sparkles with the sweet fruits of its season. You young ladies, may have plucked pretty giftlings from it; and out of the cracker sugarplum* which you have split with the captain or the sweet young curate may you have read one of those delicious conundrums which the confectioners introduce into the sweetmeats, and which apply to the cunning passion of Love. Those riddles are to be read at your age, when I dare say they are amusing. As for Dolly, Merry, and Bell, who are standing at the tree, they dont care about the love-riddle part, but understand the sweet-almond portion very well. They are four, five, and six years old. Patience, little people! A dozen merry Christmasses more, and you will be reading those wonderful love-conundrums, too! -William M.
