Robins have been associated with Christmas Greeting since the Victorians created Christmas Cards.
Here are two Victorian Cards from my small collection
Both cards were published by Raphael Tuck & Sons. Based in London they also had Bavarian Print Works and a wide European connection .
The top card is the oldest dated to about 1885, the second more ornate production dates to about 1910 and now showing signs of its age.
But here in the Spirit of the Season is a Christmas Robin .. Just For You

And to you David, happy holidays.
Thank you 🙂
How incredibly beautiful. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Sweet. Merry Christmas.
Seems you have quite a collection! Happy Christmas!
A few…but not as many as I should have, but that’s a long story 🙂
Lovely! Victorian cards are so very beautiful. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Well they are to blame for todays Christmas Cards….and in so many you can still see the similarities in styles. 🙂
Those are way cuter than our American robins. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
They are rather friendly as well as cute balls of feathers….. Have a peaceful Christmas 🙂
That’s a happy blending of your photographs and those old-time post cards.
Thought it was appropriate 🙂
Happy Christmas to you and yours David.
