註釋During the Victorian era Christmas was indeed regarded as a "happy" day, but one of uncanny terror. Accordingly, cards and ornamentation featured strange creatures with too many tentacles. Then 'Santa Claus' became popular, and many older designs fell out of fashion. The present volume presents research on Ernst Haeckel's work on holiday 'Kunstformen der Un-Natur'; such Ur-figures as Soggy Ned; and the 1852 disappearance of noted greeting card designer and 'cthuligrapher', Albert Whedge-Wheskit.
