1916 Present to Dad




In 1916 my Great Uncle George gave his father a cute little Christmas card. Being broke it seems he had no money for a present; but being creative he came up with a plan! Apparently his dad had arranged to pay him for some major help around the farm while he was home from college so he acknowledged payment in full for any work done before or after the gift was given during the month of December.
Merry Christmas to all! God Bless us Every One!

That is so great! Thank you for sharing that! Nice to know that times don't change much, and that we all have to get creative at times!

Merry Christmas! May you and your family be blessed with happiness in the coming year,
