| This is one of my all time favorite Christmas cards. I've not been able to identify the artist's name. On the back is written, "From the Hallmark Collection. This antique greeting card is a prize-winning design from the Christmas Card competitions held in the late 19th century by Louis Prang & Company of Boston and Roxbury, Massachusetts. (My most common dream at night is floating/flying above the ground like this. It is a good way to escape danger on the ground :-) ) |

| Written on the back of this card is "The Handkerchief to Dadie and Mama Sofa slip to Mama Sherman (?) From grandma |
 |
| Love this card with the poet Edgar Guest's name on front and a verse of his inside: We are sad when you are sad, We are glad when you are glad, Thus we wish all joy for you So we can be happy, too! |
 |
| This card was addressed to a Miss Helen Bivens, Harriman, Tennessee. It simply states "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, John H. Hart |
 |
| On the other side of this postcard is written Hello, Bryan, How are you? What are you doing for xmas, When are you coming up here? There was no address on the card. |

| My dad made and drew this card when he was in the army, stationed in Alaska. I like the way he put the year 1947 on the corners. |

| My sister Patti and I standing in front of a Santa made by Mack Seivers. This photo was made in his front yard in 1970. Mack was a very talented artist, sign painter and musician. I posted this yesterday on Facebook and received so many warm comments about all the memories associated with this Santa Claus that Mack made. Mr. Seivers lived in my neighborhood in North Clinton. I always adored this Santa Claus! |
My wishes go to my wonderful blogger friends that those who celebrate Christmas have a blessed one and that everyone has a happy holiday season. I am going to need to take a break from blogging, I am not sure for how long. More work needs to be done here at home. Clint and I have some travel goals next year and I need to prepare to set things in motion for those goals. My artwork has been neglected and I need to return to painting. Maybe my next post will be a beautiful oil painting of the Smoky Mountains hanging over our mantle! ☺ I will be thinking of you all during the holiday season, will miss you all and will see you down the road!
