A sprig of holly with bright red berries and pale green mistletoe is laid across a background of soft grey-green vertical stripes, with the greeting "A Happy Christmas." lettered in gold script at lower right. Holly and mistletoe were the standard evergreen emblems of the turn-of-the-century Christmas postcard, and cards of this style were exchanged in enormous numbers during the golden age of the picture postcard before World War I.
