Chris Overstreet blogs at Wild Postcards: A (Re) Collection which showcases recent postcards that he’s collected as well as vintage postcards coming from a collection which was started by his “great-grandfather, Philip Nelson Smith (1896-1972), who kept a number of postcards from his childhood, and from his travels (mostly to visit family in Pennsylvania, after he and Great-Grandma Lottie left there to move in with my grandparents in New Jersey in the early ’60s). This time he’s entered a modern postcard  Dreaming of a White Christmas.
