In 1885, fashion figures of
elegant women were a typi-
cal subject -of Christmas
• cards. An example is a Louis
Prang card -from the Nor-
cross Historical Collection.
Mr. Prang, who published
the best-known early greet-
ing cards in the U.S., con-
ducted a Christmas card
competition. The $1,000 first
o prize was won by Elihu Ved-
der, a well-known American
artist,
The model ,for his success-
ful illustration was his wife,
and the inscription read, in
part, "Thy own wish wish I
thee in everyplace."
Later Christmas cards de-
picted women as fashidn
plates, sportswomen, cyclists
and, in general, growing par=
ticipants in the life of their
times. '

Santa Claus
Has Origins
In America
Hear them? They're sleigh-
bells — and we all know what
that means! Santa's here,
andivith him arrives one of
the oldest, happiest,' and
best loved traditions of the
Christmas season.
Today, of , course, it just
wouldn't be Christmas with-
out Santa Claus, but it is
interesting td ponder just
where the jolly old gent got
his start, and it might be sur-
prising to learn that it was-
n't really, the North Pole.
The name Santa Ctaus, it-
self, is an American deriva-
tion of the name St. Nicho-
las; an early fourth century
bishop in Asia minor, accord-
• ing to the editors of the En-
cyclopedia International.
Santa was first brought to
this country by the early
Dutch settlers, who called
him Sinterklaas. These Dutch
burghs ri portrayed hinV as' a-4,,r
merry blde Man, seinetimes.
even with a wife they called
Molly Grietje.
Santa also looked a little
different then,, and he wore •
a Wide-brimmed black hat,
short Dutch breeches, and
smoked a long clay pipe.
Later, the British brought.,
their own Father Christmas
'to America — a 'happY, roly-
poly Falstaffian figure.
- Inevitably, Sinterklaas and
Father Christmas became,
one. Add to this the Norwe-
gian's Kriss Kringle, with his '
sleigh and reindeer, and the
picture is nearly complete.
It was finally the: task -of
American artists and wnters
to create an image of Santa
Claus, such as we know today.
Washington Irving, among
others, contributed to the
concept of Santa as a jolly
holiday figure, while Cleinent
Moore, in his famous "Visit
from St. Nicholas" f" 'Twas
the Night %,13ef ore Christ-
mas"), added to the concept.
However, the notion of
Santa Claus which really
captured the imagination of
young- and - old alike was •
drawn by the American car-
toonist Thomas Nast in 1863.
Yes, that's Santa all right,
with his fur-trimmed suit,
shiny black boots and long
white beard. Just the way
we've always known , him —
or so it seems.
CROWNED FOR YULE
English folk festivals of the
Middle Ages crowned a "Lord
of Misrule," who directed the
holiday celebrations. '

Showing the colors of
Christmas, red'and green, the
tropical poinsettia adorns
many homes at the holiday
season. Though it is now a
favorite holiday houseplant,
the poinsettia is a relative
newcomer to the customs of
Christmas. •
It was discovered by, and
later narned•for, Joel R. Poin-
sett. When he was serving as
U.S. minister to Mexico in
1828, Dr. Poinsett sent a cut-
ting of the plant to a friend.
Growers became interested,
but it was not until 1906 that
the poinsettia was marketed.
