Text on Card
Best Christmas Wishes Over the house-tops covered with snow Old Santa travels each Christmas, you know; His sleigh's loaded down with all sorts of toys For good little girls and good little boys.
Description
Christmas anticipation takes charming form in this early 20th-century greeting card depicting two children near a decorated evergreen tree in a cozy interior scene. One child sits on a chair examining something while the other kneels below, playing with a toy horse on wheels. The illustration captures the innocent joy and anticipation of Christmas morning, with the tree adorned in red and gold baubles within an arched interior alcove. This sweet seasonal card features holly and berry sprigs framing the lower right of the composition, adding traditional holiday imagery. The text 'Best Christmas Wishes' graces the lower portion, accompanied by a charming verse about Santa's Christmas Eve journey over snowy rooftops. The soft color palette of cream, green, and muted reds exemplifies the gentle printing style favored during this festive season.
