Yuletide Blessings Vintage Look Round Pillow

In ancient times, Yule was a Germanic celebration of the winter solstice that lasted 12 days. Today, Yule simply means Christmas and tide means time. Yuletide, or Christmastide, is another way to say the season or days surrounding Christmas and the winter solstice. The holly in this illustration is a deeply symbolic plant in many traditions during the Yuletide or Christmas season. In Celtic folklore, it represents peace and goodwill. In some traditions it represents protection. Today, you often see the dove of peace carrying a holly branch as a popular Christmas motif marrying these ancient and modern symbols into today’s Christmas traditions. “Yuletide Blessings of Hope and Comfort” is an original illustration inspired by Victorian-style graphic design and typography. The piece uses a distressed paper background for a vintage poster appearance. It is perfect for creating a Victorian Christmas aesthetic. This design coordinates with the Holly Star pattern in both red and green. Available in my "Yuletide Blessings Collection". --> NOTE: This pillow has a customizable holiday message on the back. Keep it as is or personalize it with your holiday wishes.
