Note the little Scottie dog in both the Christmas cards, probably because of President Roosevelt's Scottie named Fala, who made the breed popular at the time.

1912 NEW IDEAS FOR CHRISTMAS TREES
Trussing up trees today isn't a new idea but I imagine back in 1912 the machinery was new and rather expensive and a regular tree with no packaging could cost as little as 20 cents.

1800's CHRISTMAS CARD
This Christmas Card from the Gilded Age is not unusual for it's time but it would be today. There is nothing on the card except the message that indicates this is a Christmas card, it actually looks more like a Valentine's card to me, but this was common for cards at this time. Floral images was actually rather common for Christmas cards at the time.
