Santa's Up on the Rooftop!

Up on the rooftop! Santa will be on his way soon. I'm kind of on the older (but well preserved) side and I still watch the NORAD Santa tracker!

Birds in the Snow

Some pretty birds in the snow. The dark stuff is glitter. Since they used real silver glitter back then, it has tarnished. This is a favorite postcard of mine!

Vintage Christmas Postcard - Santa with Toys

If you've never had a chance to go to a Christkindlmarkt (Christmas market), you should definitely try to make it some year. We go to the Christmas market in Bethlehem PA and it's so much fun! There's food, crafts, glass blowing demonstrations, a bazillion ornaments for sale, and did I mention food?

This postcard reminds me of the markets I've been to. Some have people in period dress walking around with toys hanging from a wooden display just like this vintage Santa in the postcard!

If you are close to Bethlehem PA here is the link for this year's market:

Vintage Christmas Postcard - Watching for Santa

This one reminds me of me and my cousins on Christmas eve, hanging out of the window at my Grandma's house looking for Santa. Grandpa used to go outside and ring sleigh bells, and we'd all try to find the sleigh. Another one of my favorite Christmas postcards! I think this one is so sweet. Illustrated by Ellen Clapsaddle.
