Ye Olde Victorians were the early ancestors of tumblrites because they too loved their frogs.
inscriptions reads: "A jolly Christmas may yours be. (berlin)"
What a dapper looking gentlefrog.
poem is: "Oh children, join our merry band And carry a banner for the good of the land!
A jolly time just to remember That Christmas comes on the 25th of December
(signs say: Hurrah for Santy and Same Stocking)"
Very nice, I appreciate that they're all naked except for the fellow in the front but at least the last two made an attempt with their blue boots and top hat.
I realize the fly guy has a tambourine but it looks like a beach ball to me and this is now giving me 'holidays on the beach' vibes. Seems very cheerful. The inscription is "May Christmas be merry".
Oh! Oh dear, this seems a little less cheerful.
poem is:
Four Jovial froggies
a skating would go;
They has asked their mamma,
but she'd sternly said, "No!"
And they all cae to grief in a beautiful row,
There's a sweet Christmas moral for one not too slow.
------ Just go!
Inscription is: "A Merry Christmas to you". Not at all sure what a frog mugging gone bad has to do with that unless the frog is stealing the froggie money to buy you something nice. You've got to appreciate how liberal with blood the Victorians were when it came to Christmas cards.
inscription is: "Hearty Wishes" and yep, that's a pun all right. Not sure its the sentiment I'd want someone aiming at me.

Time for some more Victorian Christmas cards! And what's more Christmasy than some winter sparrows?
oh.... oh dear. Inscriptions is: "May yours be a joyful Christmas" but a dead bird doesn't seem at all joyful to me. Sorry to all the cats trying to impress their owners. It seems rather morbid to -
ooooh! Oh yes, context is important! Inscription is: "A merry Christmas and a happy New Year". That's much better. Drunk birds are much funnier than dead ones -
wait - is that a cat in the background?
Well, it looks like the birds are here for their revenge. Inscription is: "May all jollity "LIGHTEN" your Christmas hours". Good grief, that seems more like a threat than a well wish!
Inscrition is: "Who's afraid?" and well, I wasn't before but I feel as if I should be now!
