- Aluminum Christmas Tree at a Living Room Window, December 1962 - Aluminum Christmas trees gleamed in millions of American homes during the 1960s. The trees were lightweight, easy to care for, and eye-catching, especially when illuminated by light from a revolving color wheel. The trees fell out of style by the early 1970s, yet are fondly remembered and sometimes still shine in homes during the Christmas season.

- Christmas Greeting Postcard, circa 1935 - Colorful, commercially designed greeting cards were popular during early 20th-century America--especially on holidays. Friends and neighbors customarily exchanged cards wishing one another a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year. This is one of a genre of Christmas cards that harkened back to a nostalgic pre-industrial era--a time when Christmas as we know it today never actually existed!

- World War I Poster, "True Blue," 1919 - During World War I, Abraham Lincoln's image was revived as a symbol of wisdom, courage, and sacrifice both at home and abroad. Posters like this were certainly propaganda but they succeeded in motivating the American public to support the war effort. African Americans' loyalty to Lincoln inspired thousands to enlist and bravely serve their country--though largely in segregated units.
