A printed greeting card reading "Christmas Wishes" pairs a young child with a decorated tree, a pairing that became a staple of holiday cards from the late 1800s onward. Such cards were mass-produced, often with color lithography, and mailed or handed out during the season, so they reflect how families marked the holiday through sentiment rather than formal ceremony. Its placement under food is a little unexpected, since the record describes no meal or table, which makes it a useful case for noticing how the gallery's categories were assigned.
