Christmas Postcard of the Day VIII : Christmas Angel with Children Postcards

Less than a week before Christmas and I still have so many angel postcards to present! Today's postcards show angels interacting with children - watching over them, bringing them gifts and playing with them. They are lovely "windows", showing us Christmas as it was 100 years ago.

These Christmas postcards are not for sale, but you can find many wonderful Christmas postcards in my eBay store: Moody Mommy's Christmas Postcards

Christmas Postcard of the Day VII : Another Angel

Along the same lines as yesterday's card, today's postcard also features an angel and a Christmas Tree. This lovely post card was published by EA Schwerdtfteger (EAS) circa 1910. It has a glossy gelatine finish with gold metallic painted highlights.

Christmas Postcard of the Day VI : Angel bringing Christmas Tree

For the next few days I will feature "angel Christmas postcards". They are among the most beautiful of the season and a personal favorite. 

Today's post card by an unnamed artist, shows an angel in clouds holding a Christmas tree. In my husband's native Switzerland, the children are not allowed to go into the "parlor" (stube) on Christmas Eve. Then, after supper, a bell rings and the doors are opened to reveal a magnificent decorated tree lit with candles with presents underneath - brought not by Santa Claus but by the Christmas angel (Christkindli). In our home here in the US, we follow primarily American traditionsbut have added a "Swiss twist". Every Christmas morning my husband descends the stairs to see if Santa (Christkindli) has come and then rings a bell signaling that the children can join him.

This card can be found in my eBay store : Lovely Antique Christmas Postcard Angel Candles Tree.
