About this postcard

A Very Happy Christmas to You is shown with five golden bells hanging from a ribbon above a spray of green holly and red berries, all set within an embossed border. The bells-and-holly motif is a classic early twentieth-century Christmas card design, with bells announcing the season and holly symbolizing evergreen life.
