Santa with Two Girls Holiday Cards
|
Inside Verse:"Wishing you the Christmas of your dreams" Back Poem:"It was a splendid Christmas! Nellie went to bed early, so as to let Santa have a chance at the stockings. In the morning, she was the first up of anybody and went in and felt them all lumpy with packages of candy, oranges and grapes, pocketbooks, and rubber balls. Her young lady sister had a silk umbrella, Papa and Mama had potatoes and coal wrapped in tissue as always. She waited till the rest of the family awoke, and then burst into the library. Large presents were laid outÉ books, breast pins, dolls, a little stove, watercolors, ink stands, Turkish paste and nougat, candied cherries- all surrounding a lit tree standing in the wastebasket. Nellie paid no mind to breakfast, rather she ate candy all the day, turkey, cranberries, plum pudding- then went out to coast on the snow. When the pathetic, spoiled child returned crying with a belly-ache, Papa scolded Mama sternly, saying he would see if his house was turned into that sort of a fool's paradise another year! Mama smiled sweetly, recalling those same words he had exclaimed the year prior."
(Excerpt from "Christmas Every Day" by W.D. Howells, 1886)
