Printed holiday greeting card for 1962-63 from widowed Lady Flora McCrea Eaton, matriarch of the Eaton family. Sent from their estate north of Toronto.
This is not a mass‑produced Eaton’s corporate Christmas card. It is a personalized seasonal message, signed in green ink, with a reflective essay‑style text typical of her later-life correspondence.
Eaton Hall, King City, Ontario
To my Eaton family and friends;
Having seen snowflakes in the Northwest Territories in late August....back in Ontario...green lawns, brilliant flowers....But still Christmas comes nearer by the day.
...the birthday of Jesus Christ gives us the unfailing and only Hope for the World.....
Flora McCrea Eaton
Printed on thick stock.
14 x 19 ½ cm

Interested in the occult, Lady Eaton had a séance room built in the turret of Eaton Hall.
