To kick in some much-needed Christmas spirit, I’ll begin posting a Christmas card a day – but with a twist this year. I do still love all the vintage photos, so I’ll keep posting those on Monday & Friday, but in between, I will post a Christmas card.
This card was postmarked December 28, 1917 and was sent to Anna Chodl in Chicago. The language is not English, so I don’t know what it says. The children featured each have the trappings of Christmas around them – their best clothes, toys and books, and a Christmas tree lit with candles.
Who Were They?

I feel the latter. Maybe an adoring granny getting a card from her grandchild or family in the old country .

The latter died the next a month after giving birth To a son who died at birth. I feel the post card was for the former though. Maybe greetings from the old world
