Description

Inside a manger full of hay and straw, baby Jesus, wrapped in a cloth, is seen clutching a few small branches of holly. This portrait of baby Jesus is ornamented with two branches of holly that bear holly berries. Above the picture, among two more branches of holly, "Christmas" is printed in brown ink. On the left-hand side of the postcard, the sentence "Here's to the season Of good will and Joy Here's to the Christmas with downing" is printed. On the right-hand side of the postcard the sentence "Here's to your health And may nothing destroy The pleasure I wish you this morning" is printed.
