Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all my Pbase friends.
I decided to display some vintage postcards as decorations this Christmas.
This one was sent from my grandfather to my grandmother in 1905, before they were married.
It was printed in Germany which may explain why the figure of Santa Claus (?) is wearing brown rather than red and carrying a branch.
There's also a new post on my blog for those who are interested:

St Nicholas brings toys for some children, and a branch to beat 'undeserving' children..wonderful old card (and setting)..the brown coat looks more natural than the customary bold red..

Wow, you have cards from 1905? You really ARE a magpie! (Australianism for "one who collects and retains lots of stuff".) It's also odd that Santa is bestowing blessings for a new year but not, seemingly, Weihnachten. Regardless, it's a singularly suitable photographic subject for the season. Happy new year, and I wish you many happy photo ops (and far fewer colds and sniffles) for 2013.
