EDITORS COMMENTS
A Feline Felicitous Feast of Fun: Late Victorian Christmas and New Year's Day Greetings with Whimsical Cat and Kitten Verse Step back in time to the late Victorian era, circa 1890s, and join us in celebrating the joyous season of Christmas and the dawn of a new year with this charming and playful cat and kitten Christmas card. The black-and-white photograph features a mother cat cradling her adorable kittens in a cozy corner, their curious eyes peering out at us with mischievous delight. But this isn't just any ordinary card – it's a verbal feast of puns, wordplay, and comic verse that is sure to bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. The reverse side of the card is graced with a delightful poem that plays on the themes of the holiday season and the feline world. "Wishing you a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year, With a purring cat and a bowl full of cheer, May your home be filled with the joy of the season, And your days be bright with the sun's warm beams. But wait, there's more! For those with a keen sense of humor and a love for wordplay, the card offers a clever play on the word "Xmas," with the poetic line, "May your Xmas be filled with the joy of the X's and O's." So, gather your family and friends around the fireplace, share a hearty laugh, and let the spirit of the season be infused with the playful purrs of these delightful feline friends. May your Christmas and New Year be filled with love, laughter, and the warmth of the holiday season.
