...in the nicest possible way, of course.
And what better, more fitting way could there be for me to send my festive wishes to you than to share some beautifully wacky and slightly macabre natural history themed Christmas cards from our Victorian ancestors...?
May Christmas be merry
May all jollity "LIGHTEN" your CHRISTMAS hours
A HAPPY CHRISTMAS
A hearty welcome
To wish you The Compliments of the SEASON
A Happy Christmas to you!
Friendship is flavour best for wine
Take then, anew (?) with Christmas, mine!
A Loving Christmas Greeting
(Sorry about that one! It was traditional to show dead birds on Christmas cards
in the Victorian era, perhaps related to ancient good luck rituals
and as a symbol of the fleeting nature of life.)
A very Merry Christmas to all who come here and many thanks!
