Gay Christmas Cards Set Holiday Mood
A 1948 survey of Christmas cards shows modern design reviving traditional Yule themes with poinsettias holly wreaths candles and a Christmas tree. Santa in red plush boots and white feather beard leads fashion notes while women wear long skirts in a New Look style. Cards feature humorous and sentimental verses and religious scenes including Madonnas angels and Nativity. An angelic plaid-lass Scotch lassie knitting ski socks appears on one card. Deluxe cards with heavy ribbons and ornate artwork are common and about 1.5 billion cards are exchanged in the United States this season, matching last year’s record.
