Description
Entitled "Winter days" shows a winter scene with a large sleigh drawn by four horses, with several men and women riding past a house with a white picket fence and smoke coming out of a chimney on a snowy winter day. A dog is chasing the sleigh. On the left, a man drives an ox team pulling a sled filled with firewood. At the corners are vignettes showing people ice skating, sledding, and making snowballs. 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. Published by Gaylord Watson and Tenney & Weaver, 1881.
