Vintage Santa Christmas Joy Die-Cut Greeting Card 1920s

Like a modern influencer who's had one too many holiday cocktails, Santa is absolutely THRIVING—red-cheeked and wide-eyed with the unhinged energy of a man who has had three eggnogs and just remembered he forgot to file his taxes — meanwhile, down at his feet, a doll with rosy cheeks and dead button eyes peers out from an open burlap sack alongside a golden horn and a polka-dotted toy bag, essentially recreating the aesthetic of a kidnapping kit with festive branding. The card's creator apparently looked at a bag full of toys and thought, 'you know what this needs? A child crammed in there too.' 'A Load of Christmas Joy' reads less like a warm holiday greeting and more like something you'd find scrawled on the side of a suspiciously large van, and yet here we are, mailing it to grandma.
