Wish your wonderful granddaughter-in-law a Merry Christmas Eve Birthday with a card featuring a sleeping cat in front of a fireplace, a mouse on the mantle and a cute dog holding a stocking in his mouth, excited that Santa Claus is arriving to fill it with goodies. Background is red with white text. Original design by Laurie Schneider/Elements by La Galerie de Jackie/Lemur Designs/Digital Designs by Elena. Just for fun:Santa was not the first magical figure to enter buildings through the chimney. As early as the 1400s, there are written records of the widespread belief that witches, elves, fairies and other occult could pass through walls or fly up and down chimneys. These beliefs influenced various European holiday figures, including Italy’s La Befana and Germany’s Pelznickel, who travel via chimney during the holiday season.
