Mailing colorful, commercially designed greeting cards was a 20th-century American tradition. During the holidays, friends and neighbors commonly exchanged cards wishing the recipient a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year. This card contains typical holiday symbols: candles, holly, and a winter scene. The snow-covered house perhaps represents an idealized home familiar to all seeking a quiet respite during the busy holiday season.
