St. Patrick's Day, Easter, April Fool's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
Halloween, and Thanksgiving were all celebrated with postcards.

St. Patrick's Day
"Good Luck" cards appeared throughout the year, but especially on St. Patrick's Day.
Some cards for this occasion stated the holiday by name.



Easter
Many Easter cards were printed although few of them depicted religious content.
Usually the choice was in favor of rabbits etc



 

Halloween
Today's Halloween isn't observed quite like it was in Grandpa's day.
But the cards still have great appeal.

 

 


Thanksgiving
The turkey (dead or alive) has become a symbol for Thanksgiving
and appears on many cards for this American holiday.
