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. Or maybe those color choices were just artistic license on the part of the artists. However he’s dressed, Santa has and always will be the bringer of happiness for children.

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.
I like your Santa cards…how can I get them? Thanks, D
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!
Thanks for this wonderful vintage postcard. I love vintage Santas.

This site is awesome. In the first years of marriage my irish husband had a green santa and it was destroyed and i have now found a green santa to make an ornament to remind him of the old one he had. I would reccommend this site to anyone desiring vintage art. Thank you very much.
