Today we have some Vintage Cards, The Nutcracker Suite, and Singing Christmas Mice. My father saved a lot of holiday cards when he was a boy and here are just a few dated Christmas cards from the late teens and 1920’s. Following them is my old Nutcracker Suite music box. There are higher tech ones made now, but you can watch mine and see the Nutcracker in two minutes! Finally my Singing Christmas Mice sing a few songs. There is an infrared beam between the two big mice prompting them when to sing.

Love the mice! Merry Christmas!

I suspect the holiday postcards were cheaper to buy than actual cards. The postage on the cards from 1917 forward was 2 cents.

As you know I love all the postcards 😽I could listen to the nut cracker and the mice, especially baby mouse all day it definitely cheered up a dreary day here in Scotland. Magical treasures to behold.
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a very happy New year. Love you Christine.xxx 🌲🌲🐾🐾💖😽

The mice and ballet are cheerful and fun to watch. Wish I could find my big singing reindeer. Might have scampered back to the North Pole! Christmas post coming Saturday.
