{"product_id":"vintage-christmas-card-set-60233","title":"The Chimney Question Christmas Cards","description":"\u003cp\u003eJessie Willcox Smith drew this child in 1912, kneeling at the fireplace, looking straight up into the chimney, and a hundred and some years later, that is still exactly the right question.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot unwrapping. Not asleep. Staring into the dark above the firebox, working the problem. The four phrases across these cards are the inside of that head: \u003cem\u003eThe stockings were hung by the chimney with care. A creature WAS stirring. Is he here yet? Did I open the flue?\u003c\/em\u003e Anticipation as a thought loop. The most honest thing anyone has said about Christmas Eve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe wondering does not actually stop. It changes shape. Adults who still feel something when they look up at a chimney usually cannot explain why, and usually do not try. This card lets someone send that feeling to a person who would recognize it without either of them having to say so.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwenty-four cards across four designs, six of each, each one 4 x 5.5 inches with Smith's watercolor illustration on the front and blank inside.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat child is still looking up. The question is still open.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ritzy Rose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54200918704422,"sku":"60233","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0361\/3689\/files\/2_0000577c-5be0-41ee-a83f-ac2a444835d2.jpg?v=1792913171","url":"https:\/\/www.theritzyrose.com\/products\/vintage-christmas-card-set-60233","provider":"RITZY ROSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
