Free Vintage Santa Claus Christmas Cards
Santa Claus of old had a tendency to be a bit more serious than he is today. And apparently he sometimes wore blue pants, or a blue or green coat (depending on the region, I presume), because that’s they way he’s depicted in some of the vintage Christmas cards below.

Father Christmas traditionaly wore green, blue or purple. Without mentioning any names, it was a famous soft drinks company who first depicted him in red. And that’s the way he stayed!

And thus began the commercialization of Christmas!
Thanks for sharing that info, Rachel. I had no idea that’s why his suit color changed.

Hi, D’Ana.
The cards are available as free downloads, subject to the “Rules of the Road” in the right sidebar. To get a card, just double-click on one of the card images on this page to make a larger version appear. If you’re using a PC you can then save the image to your hard drive by right-clicking your mouse. I’m not sure how you do it with a Mac.
I hope that was what you were asking. If not, let me know.
Thanks!
