Description
Entitled "Sleighing in New York" showing crowded street scene with many sleighs in front of Barnum's Museum, Broadway & Anne St., NYC. In the United States, "Season's Greetings" and "Happy Holidays" have become a common holiday greeting in the public sphere of department stores, public schools and greeting cards. Its use is generally confined to the period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. American use of the term "Happy Holidays" to replace "Merry Christmas" dates back to the 1970s and was a common phrase relating to the Christmas season in the 1890s. "Season's Greetings" is more commonly used as a motto on winter season greeting cards, and in commercial advertisements, than as a spoken phrase. Artwork by Thomas Benecke, published by Nagel & Lewis, 1855.
