A Christmas Album (but not mine)

In 1994 I was lucky enough to find this scrapbook full of old greeting cards. Most were Christmas cards, and as I looked through them, I found that they were collected by Bessie Tilson of Murray, Nebraska. How they ended up in an antique store in Southern California, I don't know. The whole album was disintegrating, so I saved what I could in a newer photo album. I take it out every Christmas and look at the photos and read the portion of the letter to Bessie from her friend Nettie (Geneva Knight) Paulson. I just wanted to share the cards, and the letter from 'Net', because things haven't changed much since then. Some of that is bad, but some of it is good. Happy Holly Days.
