✨WHITNEY SANTA POSTCARD✨

🔔 DESCRIPTION

Celebrate the charm of an old-fashioned holiday with this genuine antique 1918 Christmas postcard published by Whitney Made of Worcester, Massachusetts. The lightly embossed front illustration depicts Santa Claus seated on a wooden shipping crate labeled "For U.R. Happy, Hollyville Christmas, 25 Yule St." as three sweet children bring him festive treats—including a holly-topped figgy pudding, a basket of oranges, and a large candy cane.

A nostalgic holiday verse printed at the top reads: "Wish I could see dear SANTA CLAUS, I'd give him something nice because He is so good to me And always trims my tree." The divided back features Whitney Made's signature laurel leaf divider and a lovely handwritten pencil gift inscription reading "To Baby From all. 1918." This unmailed piece of early 20th-century ephemera makes a wonderful addition to a vintage Santa postcard collection, holiday junk journal, or seasonal display.
