A Christmas and New Years' greeting card sent out by the Macmillan Company of Canada Limited for the 1970 holiday season.

The greeting card contains a copy of "The Heart of Merry Christmas", a 12-page speech by Canadian author Robertson Davies given to the Canadian Club in Toronto on 14 December 1970 regarding Christmas. Davies' address touches on themes of Christianity, theology, astrology, the Age of Aquarius and the Aeon of Pisces, and the persistence of Christmas "in some form or other".

Davies' speech concludes "So long as the sun continues to celebrate Christmas by his steady convalescence we may let the Aeons of the World Zodiac bring what they will, for we shall have been given new hope, and that is, after all, what lies at the heart of a Merry Christmas."
