A Merry Christmas postcard from the early twentieth century shows a girl and a man posed beside a decorated tree, a scene that captures the domestic holiday ritual of the period. Christmas postcards like this one were popular in the decades around 1900, when cheap color printing and a booming postal system made it easy to mail seasonal greetings across the country. Images of children with evergreens often stressed family warmth and the new custom of the lighted tree in the home. Look closely at the decorations and clothing, which reveal how middle-class households marked the season.
