    Description

    Vintage Hallmark Christmas card, c. 1960s.
    The card measures 12 1/2" tall x 6.25" wide when still folded.  It unfolds to a little under 31".
    This oversized foldout card is ULTRA RARE!  It dates from the 1960s and is the Night Before Christmas story told in the slang of the 1960s counter-culture.   It is FABULOUS.
    It includes references to Woodstock, Peace, Love,and Truth, yoga, meditation, incense, waterbeds, U.F.O.s and lots of other cultural references and slang from the 1960s.
    The main character is meditating in his Woodstock Nation t-shirt and his "chick" is doing yoga when
    Nick appears...
    Santa's "duds were all fur,
    Trimmed in leather and such
    And he came on Stone Funky...
    He was really too much.
    His back-pack was painted
    With black-light festoon,
    Full of albums and posters
    And a neon balloon..."
    Then the couple raps until dawn with Santa about Peace, Love and Truth...
    Back of card is marked HALLMARK CONTEMPORARY CARDS
