No, I didn’t receive this card today. It’s one my grandmother sent her mother-in-law—my great-great grandmother—sometime in the 1920s. The angel kissing the sleeping child seems a little sketchy to me even if he is a child himself. Still, it’s a pretty card in a way. It’s engineered to fold flat, and the colors don’t look like they’ve faded much. But I can’t imagine sending my mother-in-law a Valentine’s Day card that’s for sure!
