Judging by our early 1900s postcard collection, sending New Years greetings must have been at least as popular as sending Christmas cards.
We have so many pretty French cards showing photos of little girls and boys and ladies and couples with the greeting "Bonne Annee" or "Joyeuse Annee" or "Heureuse Annee" (happy year) ~ as well as colorful English and American postcards featuring children and cherubs and Father Time, pigs and horseshoes for luck, and the traditional new year gnomes!
So to wish you a good and happy and joyous year with "365 jours de bonheur" here are a couple of favorites.
