Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays, 1869
Entitled: "The rivals" showing two boys skating alongside of girl on sled. 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. Published by Thomas Sinclair, 1869.
