Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays, 1895
Entitled: "The winter girl" shows a young woman walking in the snow with the sun low on the horizon and buildings in the background. In the United States, "Season's Greetings" and "Happy Holidays" have become a common holiday greeting in the public sphere of department stores, public schools and greeting cards. Its use is generally confined to the period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. American use of the term "Happy Holidays" to replace "Merry Christmas" dates back to the 1970s and was a common phrase relating to the Christmas season in the 1890s. "Season's Greetings" is more commonly used as a motto on winter season greeting cards, and in commercial advertisements, than as a spoken phrase. Percy Moran, Buek & Company, Lithographers, 1895.
