A Victorian Canine Christmas - The Touching Tale of Spitz, the Christmas Card Dog
EDITORS COMMENTS
As the winter snow blankets the earth, and the holiday season approaches, a nostalgic longing for the past fills the air. One of the most cherished traditions of the late 19th century was the exchange of Christmas cards, each one more beautiful and heartfelt than the last. Among these treasured cards, one stands out for its unique charm: an oval portrait of a Spitz dog gracing the front, accompanied by a touching rhyme. The Spitz breed, with its piercing blue eyes and thick, fluffy coat, was a popular choice for Victorian Christmas cards. This particular card, however, tells a story that transcends the mere beauty of the breed. The dog, named Spitz, was not just an image on a card but a symbol of love, companionship, and the spirit of the season. The rhyme that accompanies the image reads: "In the heart of winter's frosty reign, A faithful friend, in joy and pain, Through the snow and sleet and cold, Brings warmth to our hearts, young and old. Spitz, our Christmas canine friend, Brings joy that never will end, May your holidays be bright and gay, With love and laughter every day." This touching rhyme speaks to the deep bond between humans and their canine companions, a bond that has remained unchanged through the centuries. The image of Spitz, with his piercing gaze and fluffy coat, serves as a reminder of the joy and warmth that our pets bring into our lives, especially during the holiday season. As we exchange cards and celebrate the festivities of the season, let us not forget the simple pleasures of the past, like the image of Spitz on a Victorian Christmas card, a symbol of love, companionship, and the spirit of the season.
