About this postcard
A frame of holly leaves and red berries tied with a red ribbon surrounds a central inset of a snowy village at sunset. Two gold bells hang at the lower left. In the scroll-edged view, a small church with a tall steeple and low buildings stand in snow, and a horse-drawn sleigh crosses the foreground. The printed greeting wishes the recipient a merry Christmas. Holly, bells, and snowy church scenes were common holiday postcard motifs in the early 20th century, and the village here reads as generic holiday imagery rather than a named place.
