Vintage Christmas Cards

I enjoy looking at all the Christmas cards out in the gift shops and stores, but I especially enjoy some of the vintage cards. Love the eye candy. The credit for these images goes to <em> </em><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/ironrodart/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Royce Bair"><span style="color: #0c7ead;">Royce Bair</span></a>. The images were scanned from his personal collection and the color restored (digitally remastered). He also retouched it to remove scratches, cracks, smudges and age spots. This is typically about a 3 hour process.<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;
