Many of the Christmas cards on store shelves today are a far cry from the traditional style of generations past. But it is those traditional cards which in simplicity and style tell the story of Christ’s birth and bring greetings for the holiday season that are retained over the years.

Some are brought out and displayed year after year in unique ways. Linda Blosser of the Chester Garden Club recently exhibited a collection of her 1930s Christmas postcards on a wreath she exhibited at the holiday flower show.

Postcards from the early 1900s in another collection are framed for safe keeping and displayed for the holiday season.
