Be Merry - A Dutch Christmas Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard, dated 1905, transports us back in time to a quintessential Dutch Christmas scene. The image, created by artist KL, captivates the essence of the holiday season with its charming depiction of Dutch dolls gathered around a festively decorated table. At the center of the table, a plum cake, or "stollen," takes pride of place. This traditional German-Dutch fruitcake, often flavored with marzipan, raisins, and citrus peel, is a staple of the Christmas season. The dolls, dressed in their finest traditional attire, eagerly await the arrival of the holiday feast. A roasted goose graces the table, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. Geese were once a prized delicacy during the winter months, making their appearance on the table a sign of wealth and celebration. The goose is accompanied by an assortment of vegetables and fruits, adding to the bounty of the season. The warm, inviting atmosphere is further enhanced by the twinkling candles and the holly and ivy adorning the walls. The Dutch dolls, with their rosy cheeks and cherubic expressions, exude joy and merriment, embodying the spirit of the holiday season. This postcard, with its delightful portrayal of Dutch Christmas traditions, serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and treasured memories that the season brings. As we gaze upon this charming scene, we can almost hear the laughter and feel the warmth of the fire, transporting us to a bygone era.
