Coming Home for Christmas

Families and sailors both dream under the same moon of Christmas. In the foreground of the drawing are large ships under a full moon. In the background of this Christmas drawing, they show children sledding, someone cutting down a Christmas tree and everyone gathered around a decorated Christmas tree. It is from the December 23, 1879 edition of Harper’s Young People.
