Holly and a Nativity scene form the centerpiece of this greeting card, which pairs a traditional Christmas plant with the story of the birth of Jesus. Victorian-era printers produced cards like this in large numbers, often with embossed or chromolithographed borders, and sending one was a popular way to wish friends and family a merry season. Holly was long associated with the holiday because its evergreen leaves and red berries stood for life and endurance in the dark of winter, and the Nativity imagery reflected the religious meaning that many households kept at the center of their celebrations.
