In the days of literal cut and paste, creativity was king. As was featuring your television set. Happy holidays to all the Pandas!

Chihuahua In The Mailbox At The De Bord House, 1962
He's alright, I saw him last week and he's looking good. Seems like he's back to 100% after getting that heart stent put in.

Boundless Joy During The Holiday Season, 1971
And the huge “boundless joy” vibe they’re giving off too…

Hello There From Hugo And The Boys!
Hugo and the boys have a story - I want to know it! How are they related? Are they buddies/ family/co-workers? They clearly found their fellowship.
I love this one. What a kooky-looking family. I'd like to here their stories.
Kocmoud Family With Cats And Kittens, 1965
Having A Ball In 1929!
People used to look older. Instead of parents and child it looks like grandparents and grandchild.
It's making me feel much better about being and older mom.

Omg if I ever make an Xmas card of a pic of myself vacuuming whilst my husband is relaxing with the paper someone off me

They look as though they have the worst case of ectrodactyly known to man
Space Themes Were Very Popular, But Why Are They In A Lightbulb? 1957
Heck, the aliens would've had a better design than that 🤣

Dick And Dinah Are Bonkers And I Love It, 1950s
Hughes Family, 1963
I know they're sleeping but at first glance, this looks almost like those post-mortem memorial photographs people took with deceased loved ones 😬
About To Shoot Santa (Or A Fisherman In Waders). And What Is That Small Kid Going To Do With The Rope? 1955
If those were my kids, they would be in HUGE trouble. No safety and trigger discipline. I'd would have been clobbered for not following the 4 cardinal rules.
i think you only see the toe on one, and just the back of the other shoe?

Another Space-Themed Card With Spacedog, Stauffer Family, 1955
Clever Idea With Candles. Godspeed To You, Elmer Farkas, Wherever You Are! 1950s
Symbolic torching of little ones. This has a dark 50's moral panic vibe to it.
Judy, Bernice And Ferdie Are At It Again, This Time In A Rocket! 1954
Dick And Dean Bringing Home The 1945 Holiday Necessities
If anyone was curious, this is what that truck looks like. s-l1600-65...5519b1.jpg
that is a weird looking oversized bed. I have seen sort of similar ones IRL if you made the bed stop at the back of the truck.

That's because Santa knows a secret about the contents of that box. A secret that Santa would prefer not to be exposed.

I think there's been some cutting and pasting been done here.
Unknown Couple On A Sleigh, 1950s
Three Of The Swanson Children Glued To Aluminum Foil
Greetings From Loon Lake Lodge, Minnesota, 1957
The picture of the older couple at the top of the wheel looks very modern for the time, could even pass for being taken today, imo
Willis Treaster And His Litany Of Complaints, 1930s
In spite of: ̶N̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶R̶i̶f̶l̶e̶ ̶A̶s̶s̶o̶c̶i̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ (edit: see Tabitha below), Federal Communications Commission, National Park Service, Civilian Conservation Corps, Public Works Programs, Reconstruction Finance Corporation, (FDRS: unknown, possibly a reference to FDR's New Deal), Federal Housing Administration, National Farmer's Union, Emergency Conservation Work Organization, (SPCW: unknown), Agricultural Adjustment Administration.
NRA might also mean National Recovery Act, part of FDR’s New Deal—-all of which the republicans worked really hard to shoot down and do away with, even though it was actually working!
Load More Replies...This person was the a*****e uncle who ruined family gatherings by bitching about politics non stop
Copy that. A dude who uses his holiday cards to publish a manifesto about government gripes is not someone I want to have to spend a day with.
Load More Replies...Proof that there have always been people complaining about the "gov'ment". 😁
It Says "And Love To Sammy And Kimmy, Love Cheryl" - You Go, Cheryl!
Sonny And Agnes Heusser And Their Wedding, 1952
Bad News From The Clowns, 1960
Someone told my 5 y/o there's no Santa this year and I was pretty upset. Five is too young. And he was so excited for Santa. I'm keeping the lie going. I told him that person was a bah hum bug and of course Santa exists. Going all out this year, paper from the North Pole. Tags signed by Santa. He was really down about it for a couple of weeks. But now he's talking about Santa again and very excited. Who is lying to who? Who knows. But I'm happy to see him enjoying Christmas again.
Love The Existing Ribbon On This Card, And Another TV Theme, 1950s
The Windsteins And Their Chalkboard Greetings, 1940s
Is it a guy in a hockey mask with a machete? Looks like someone yelled duck and they got a bit whacked off.

Actually very Victorian they loved putting dead things in their cards
That's a hare... Probably Christmas dinner procured by the family out in a nearby field.
3 Eagle Scouts And 1 Cheerleader! 1958
Only mum, dad, and the eldest boy know where the bodies are.
Three eagle scouts is actually kind of impressive. Especially the one in front who looks like he is pretty young. I know a couple of eagle scouts and they had to work hard for it.
Quite clever a lot of them... And a LONG time before digital manipulation!
Some of them are lovely, some of them are creepy. I don't know, what I love more about it.
