About this postcard

A Christmas greeting illustration shows winged angels flying among large brown bells decorated with holly and red ribbons. The printed greeting arcs over a snowy village with a church steeple below. The sender in Kewanee, Illinois, reported 15 inches of snow and news that Frank was in Kansas, tying the wintry scene to the weather the writer was living through.
