Nowadays it doesn't seem as common -- but back in the day, there were Christmas cards for various people in one's life -- relatives especially, but also neighbors, friends -- and even people who had Christmas birthdays! I thought it might be fun today to feature a few of those special cards, some of which have sold and others which are currently listed in my Etsy shop. At the top of the post you see a lovely card for an aunt.

Oh, the cards for little girls! I believe the artist on these two may have been the inimitable Marjorie Cooper.

I'm sure I have more, but here are just a few examples. Hope you've enjoyed this look at some of the sweet and thoughtful Christmas cards from yesteryear!
