25+ Free Vintage Christmas Card Images; Day 12

We are finally wrapping up our 12 Days of Christmas! And it’s not even Christmas Eve yet See all of the posts from this year and previous here — and Merry Christmas!

I am not sure anyone realizes just how many Christmas images there are out there! And seriously, I couldn’t help but love every single one of these vintage Christmas card and holiday art images. I had a hard time narrowing it down to the few I am sharing on this post. Christmas holds so many meanings for people; from Santa Clause to Kris Kringle to Father Christmas, the traditions are similar, but a bit different to each one of us. I hope that these images focus on the similarities for each of us and remind you of the magic of Christmas.

The magic of Christmas is in every aspect of the holiday; from Santa and his flying reindeer to the snow we hope falls each Christmas Eve. The meaning of Christmas may have shifted from childhood to now, but the magic will always be here. It was so fun looking at these photos and remember Christmas as a child, I hope they trigger memories for you too! I can’t wait to frame a few and find a special place for them to sit each Christmas season. I’m leaning toward using gold frames or wood… but these red frames are beautiful!

If you’re ready to get a little crafty, you can also use these vintage images to make easy ornaments, tutorial at Petticoat Junktion

or a garland, like this one by Rain on a Tin Roof

or print them and mod-podge them onto a canvas or board (via Dollar Store Crafts)

or on blocks for a fun gift idea or mantel decor, from Homeroad
