A reminiscence by Shinna Rutta recounting old days with family, eggs in boxes, a house filled with milk and eggs, and the old time butcher in derby hats. The narrator notes relatives weddings gifts, a stubborn washing machine, and a nostalgic view of Santa Claus.
One of the earliest holiday greetings shows a crude wood cut of the Christ Child in a treasure ship overflowing with good wishes. It was produced by a German printer in 1450 as a New Year’s card.
The text notes that designing a Christmas card needs 15 months and many processes, with 28 New Year cards transforming into unique place cards for an Eve table setting. It mentions an eggnog party invitation inside a Yuletide card and cites Belfast’s 1875 religious design cards as the first.
