About this postcard

An open book or calendar is wreathed in sprigs of holly with red berries. The right-hand page reads "DECEMBER 25 Christmas Day," and the left page holds a small vignette of a snow-covered cottage among trees. Below, the card offers "With all Good Wishes for this Happy Day." Holly and calendar pages were common motifs on Christmas postcards of the early 1900s. On the back, Emma writes to her aunt that she meant to send the cards before Christmas but was too busy, and hopes she had a nice time.
