"Merry Christmas... not just from me - but from me too!," 1953
01
Artifact Overview
Mailing colorful, commercially designed greeting cards was a 20th-century American tradition. During the holidays, friends and neighbors commonly exchanged cards wishing the recipient a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year. Santa Claus, a regular feature, is sometimes depicted non-traditionally in scenes. This example shows the legendary holiday gift giver and friends on a three-person tandem bicycle.
