Thought the edHat community would enjoy a few Santa Barbara Christmas cards circa 1904 (scroll above).
Santa Barbara Christmas postcards were often decorated with poinsettias and roses to show the folks back east that our amazing climate had plants in full bloom in the dead of winter.

Dec 28, 2022 07:39 AMGreat visuals & text! The Arlington Hotel card shown was opened in 1911. Am sure writings on backs of the cards along with the stamp value & dated postmark make this collection extra enjoyable! Healthy New Year Neal!
