Holiday postcard with a metallic gold box across the bottom, and to the right within it are a boy and girl standing, looking at one another. The girl is dressed in a red dress and shoes, white panties and socks, with a pink headband. The boy is dressed in a blue sailor style outfit with a white shirt and black shoes and stockings. He appears to have military insignia on his sleeve. A verse in the left side of the box reads: "Let's Be Merry, Let's Be Gay, While We Wish Each Other A Joyous Xmas Day." In the upper left corner it reads: "Christmas Greetings" with holly. Chromolithograph. Image is embossed.
