Victorian Christmas Holly Bells Greeting Card | Antique Holiday

Against a textured cream basketweave background sits an ornate gold medallion backed with deep navy blue Gothic tracery, inside which two silver bells have been imprisoned by a jaunty red ribbon—because apparently even holiday joy requires architectural containment. A spray of holly and fat red berries hovers overhead like a smug botanical chaperone, while the whole arrangement screams 'I decorated my Christmas card with a potholder.' The cursive red script wishing you 'A Merry Christmas and a happy New Year' is doing its absolute best to distract you from the fact that someone genuinely thought 'church window crossed with a coin' was the energy this holiday season needed.
