I’m not sure what I’d think if somebody had sent me a Christmas card with a murderous frog on it!
When we’ve previously looked back at all things vintage we’ve never been disappointed. We’ve seen crazy and offensive advertising and also some very bizarre photos from days gone by which sometimes have left us a bit confused as to what the hell was going on.
Let’s step back in time to the Victorian days and take a look at a collection of old Christmas card designs that people would have sent to loved ones over the festive season. Who needs Jolly Old Saint Nick when you have evil Krampus kidnapping your children and frogs committing murder! It’s all part of a Victorian Christmas.
Not sure what Jack Frost is up to here. Best I don’t know really, let’s move on!
How festive a group of rats butchering a cat!
Get in my sack little boy!
Argh! Get it away, get it away!
Okay, can anyone explain this?
The cats clever trap had worked. He knew those pesky robins couldn’t handle their booze!
May yours be a joyful Christmas unlike this poor dead robins!
There is never enough Christmas cards featuring frogs and beetles dancing together in the moonlight.
Haha, try and get your Christmas pudding now!
[Hic] When you challenged me to drink a teapot of red wine I didn’t expect it to be this big!
May you spend a happy Christmas flying your jellyfish!
Quick, get the hell out of here, I just seen what they did to Tom and Tina Turkey!
What a touching story, really melts your heart!
Is that the devil himself on a Christmas card?
Don’t you just love the kangaroo slippers!
You know that ol’ Christmas story about a golliwog and some wooden toys washed ashore from some shipwreck! It’s what Christmas is all about!
