During World War II, sending Christmas cards was an important way for families to stay connected and boost morale among troops. This particular card showcases the creativity and ingenuity that people used to spread joy during difficult times. The use of holly leaves as soldier's heads adds a festive twist to this wartime greeting, reminding recipients that even in times of war, there is still room for celebration and hope.
