Thursday Postcard Hunt - Christmas - Christmas Trees
Christmas Trees are the theme this week for Thursday Postcard Hunt's December theme of Christmas.
c.1910
I like this one a lot, even with, or all the moreso for, the printing being off.

(I'll tell you one reason I prefer Microsoft Copilot to Google for translations. Google saw the "Jul" and jumped to "Happy July!" Copilot translated both words, "Happy Christmas!")
For some newer postcards I have these German ones. I bought over 100 German Christmas postcards at St. Vincent de Paul recently. Now, don't gasp... they were the 5¢ each ones! Apparently, many of this sort came from boxed sets that were sold in German department stores in the '60s and '70s.
This has a textured front.
Next week is Tree Ornaments.
When the theme was first revealed I was concerned. I had few Christmas postcards. It's a lucky thing for me that St. Vincent de Paul got their big donation!
...the later the better for me.
ReplyDeleteThe planets aligned for you in that purchase.
ReplyDeleteThe children are very cute on these postcards.
ReplyDeleteMaybe these German postcards seem too old in Germany... But they look perfect to me!
Tiny and pretty! First card is the best!
ReplyDeleteNot surprised that trees are a popular element of the postcards.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, and a Happy July to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteAll those glowing candles in the trees! The first one has the perfect tabletop sized tree for me .
ReplyDeleteThe first one is my favorite. It's so great that you scored so many good ones!
