There will always be a Christmas

For Sundays during Christmas in July, I've been featuring newly discovered vintage Christmas cards with motifs that include churches.  I wish that the "large" photo size here permitted a closer look at the details, but it does not.  So be sure and click on the photo to enlarge it!

This scene has a lovely green background and a metallic gold edging.  A large white church with an ornate steeple, lighted windows, and a welcoming open door.  is at the right side of the design.  People are gathered outside the church.  It's hard to tell, but they may possibly be singing Christmas carols.  To the left of the design, a sleigh bearing more people is headed toward the church.  In the background is a house and many evergreen trees.  A leafless hardwood tree stands behind the church.

This card features a bit of encouraging Christmasy verse, trimmed up with a bit of holly.  It reads:

There will always be a CHRISTMAS

With its bright and SHINING STAR

So full of HAPPINESS and HOPE

No matter where we are.

Inside the card is another sweet little view of the horse, sleigh, and house -- all set against that pretty green background. 

I love vintage Christmas cards, don't you?
