Merry Xmas


This card was sent in 1912. I wonder if it wasn't originally intended as a New Year's card, because the lucky four-leaf clover, bags of money, and champagne seem better suited for good luck in the New Year than for Christmas.

  1. You may be right... I find that in cards of that era also. I have wondered if they sent one card for both occasions. Love the children. TFS

  9. A bit late for checking in from last Friday's PFF, but wanted to see all the cards! I'm intrigued that the X is used in Xmas - I thought that was a modern, short cut to everything development. Guess not!
