Thursday Postcard Hunt - Christmas

🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄

Fittingly, the theme for this week's Thursday Postcard Hunt is Christmas!  

1911

c.1930s - 1940s when bright colors, "Golly," and humorous winks at "curses" would have been popular. 

c.1905

c.1910 - 1915

1911

This one is interesting due to its cancellation advertising the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco.

One of my favorite postcards of all of my postcards!  

c.1908 - 1910 printed in Germany

A traditional nativty combined with figures from European folk customs. There's a hunter in his traditional dress with his German dachshund and several dead animals. A boy has brought a live animal of some sort in a cage.  Then, a mother with three children are wearing 1880s - early 1900s clothing, and have brought a tree for Jesus' first Christmas.   It may be Joseph hiding in the shadows, or a shepherd.   It just all makes such a strange nativity!  

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas, or lovely Thursday if you don't celebrate it.

Next week starts a new theme in the new month of the new year.  

Light. First off will be Sunshine.
