Merry Christmas from all of us

In the spirit of the holiday, I decided to photograph and share some of my cat postcard/business card collection. All of these have been gifts from one particular friend. He picks them up during his antique mall travels during the year. Amazingly, there are no duplicates in my collection.

This will be a two-part post. Today will feature Christmas-themed cards and tomorrow will be other random cards. I'll notate postmarks or other things on the backs of the cards.
