Vintage Christmas Puppy Greeting Card | 1920s-1930s Die-Cut

A red Santa suit complete with gold buckle and holly sprig, paired with a jaunty green hat tilted at an angle that screams 'I have made questionable life choices,' suggests this is no ordinary Christmas greeting. The fluffy brown puppy marches through snow clutching a yellow card that reads 'To a Nice Boy At Christmas' — a message that lands somewhere between wholesome and mildly threatening, like a tiny mob enforcer who happens to be adorable. Those enormous, dark, slightly vacant eyes stare directly at you with the energy of someone who knows exactly what you did last Christmas. It's cute in the way that a warning is cute: technically friendly, but you feel assessed.
