A young girl in a red dress and a large striped bow holds a hand mirror and powder puff beside a decorated Christmas tree, with an open jewelry box on the table. The printed verse reads 'I think Christmas Is just lovely Don't you ?' and the greeting reads 'A Merry Christmas with Lots of Things.' The scene catches a child's pleasure in dressing up and admiring herself, a familiar holiday-card subject in the early 1900s.
White border; decorative lettering; small blue circular mark with tiny lettering at lower left. Postmark: MARIETTA MINN DEC 23 8 PM 1916 — divided-back embossed card, pencil writing, light edge/soil wear.
