A rosy-cheeked child in a red hat and suit stands in the snow carrying wrapped parcels, a holly wreath, and a sprig of mistletoe. The printed greeting "Merry Christmas" sits above a four-line verse wishing the recipient pleasures and lasting joys. The card carries a mother's Christmas greeting, signed "from your Mother," a small family message typical of the holiday postcards that circulated in the early twentieth century.
