Here are six vintage Christmas cards from different decades. This is also my last Christmas themed post for the year. So Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all that visit this blog! Until Next Time, Ashey A. 

Usually around this time I post something on Christmas TV episodes or movies and I thought this time I'd post animated specials and shorts. My favorite is A Charlie Brown Christmas but I've already posted that to a previous post so I'm leaving it off. However I have 4 specials that I watch every Christmas and 2 cartoon shorts. The Little Drummer Boy (1968) Note: The above is a clip, not the whole special. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) Note: The above is the trailer, not the whole special. A Garfield Christmas (1987) *Yes, I know this is from the 80s and I don't consider that decade old but I wanted to include this special.  A Flintstone Christmas (1977) Note: The above is a clip, not the whole special.
