1913 Christmas Greetings Among Poinsettias
There’s a graceful elegance to this vintage Christmas postcard, where two richly embossed red poinsettias bloom against a warm cream background, their vibrant red bracts glowing with festive cheer. Nestled between them is a gilded rectangular banner, trimmed in deep brown and inscribed with the words “Christmas Greetings” in graceful white script: simple, sincere, and full of seasonal warmth.
Soft green pine needles stretch outward behind the blooms, adding a subtle texture and natural detail that complements the rich red petals and yellow centers. The green leaves at the base of the lower flower anchor the composition in gentle contrast, enhancing the botanical beauty of the scene.
Poinsettias have long held a place of honor in holiday tradition, cherished not just for their striking color but for what they represent: purity, celebration, and the quiet miracle of giving from the heart. Rooted in the legend of a humble offering transformed into radiant blooms, they remind us that beauty often comes from the simplest gestures.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift or stocking stuffer, or serve as a unique holiday decoration; it would also make an excellent addition to any collection.
