A MERRY CHRISTMAS Wishing that Santa Claus will leave you a lot of nice things while you are asleep
Description
Framed within soft cream and blue-green tones, this Edwardian-era Christmas card captures Santa Claus in a moment meant to feel magical: the jolly, bearded figure parts green curtains to peek into a nursery where two children lie in their beds. He's dressed in his iconic red suit with golden buttons, black boots, and brown belt, carrying a large brown/olive gift sack across his shoulder. The intimate, nostalgic setting is typical of early 20th-century holiday imagery, and the card's sentimental message reinforces the fantasy of Santa delivering gifts while children sleep.
