Wordless Wednesday - "Harper's Weekly"

Santa Claus hands out gifts during the US Civil War in Thomas Nast's first Santa Claus cartoon, Harper's Weekly, 1863. Since I will probably not be playing along in next week's Wordless Wednesday I thought I would take this opportunity to wish all my fellow WW participants a very merry Christmas if you celebrate it, and all the best in the upcoming year!

Happy Wordless Wednesday - Tuesday Edition! And Thank You For Stopping By!

Christmas time and war is such a thought-provoking, powerful combination, even in cartoon form.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well! See you in the new year!
