Children piling onto a sled make this card stand out from the usual Christmas tree scenes on its board, since the sled, not a tree, anchors the composition. Holiday postcards like this one were popular in the early twentieth century, when printers produced large runs of sentimental cards that people mailed to family and friends during the season. Scenes of winter play, with children dressed warmly and snow implied in the background, reflected a growing taste for nostalgic, cheerful imagery. Such cards were often kept as keepsakes, which helps explain why so many have survived with their greetings still legible.
