All Good Wishes for Christmas and the New Year
I tend to think of photo Christmas cards as a fairly recent phenomenon. Nowadays, with a few clicks on our phone, we can take a photo and upload it to one of a dozen sites that will deliver custom holiday cards.
Newlyweds Helen and Robert Harschnek of Chicago surely exerted more effort and were almost 90 years ahead of the curve when they used their wedding photo for their Christmas card in 1934.
The two had met at at a dance at an old people's home in June of 1933. He, in particular, was smitten. A little over a year later they married in November 1934 and celebrated almost seventy years of marriage. Their Christmas card doubled as a wedding announcement.
Photos used as postcards were quite common in the early 20th century. In fact, Robert's mother had two such postcards of the same photo that she use to write her husband Alois as he traveled (Wait a Sec…Postcard Doubletake?), but not until more recent years and modern printing technology, did photo holiday cards become popular.

The ghevar recipe is a timeless Rajasthani delicacy prepared during monsoon festivals. First, prepare a thin batter using flour, ghee, and chilled water. Heat ghee in a kadai and pour the batter gently from a height. The batter spreads and forms a disc with beautiful honeycomb holes. Fry until golden and crisp, then take it out carefully.
