But when did it all start\, and where do some of these stock images come from that we all recognize\, year after year?\ n\n Dan Gifford knows\, and he's sharing his research in a presentation ti tled Tidings of Comfort and Joy: Christmas Postcards and their Surprising Contexts. \n\nDan is an adjunct faculty member of the history department a t George Mason University\, specializing in American popular and visual cu lture\, holidays\, and leisure activities.
