Here's a Season's Greeting which proves politicians (and their editorial cartoonist friends) are never above finding a way to use the holiday season to their advantage.
From The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, Dec. 25, 1909:
Uncle Sammy Claus brings the good little children of Hawaii gifts. And look what's under the tree for Big Island, the Hilo breakwater:

Now that you mention it, Santa does look like he enjoyed too little eggnog with his rum.

Those people from a hundred years ago sure had some weird ideas about Christmas. From the same link:

What the hell is going on in the top-right picture? And the Pied Piper is a Christmas message? Oh dear. I'm glad we've evolved since then. I think.
Merry Xmas everyone!

Here's another Christmas-on-the-waves greeting from the 1930's. For our mermaids, whale watchers, and other ocean lovers during the holiday season.
It's also held in the DeSoto Brown Collection at The Bishop Museum:
