In the center of the card, Father Christmas in a tan hooded coat kneels next to baby Jesus' green cradle. Behind them is a wooden structure like a stable and an evergreen tree. The inset is surrounded by holly and the bottom reads "All Good Wishes for Christmas."
The card depicts, in black and white, a stable scene of Joseph and Mary gazing upon the newborn baby Jesus in a manger. Stylistically, it looks as if statues were photographed. The print beneath reads "Wie danken die, Herr Jesu Christ, / daB du ein Kind geworden bist, / und hergekommen uns zu gut, / uns mitgebracht dein himmlisch Gut. / Gesegnete Weihnacht / und alles Gut zum neuen Jahr!" The general meaning is a thank-you to Jesus for coming as a newborn, wishing the receiver a blessed Christmas and New Year.
Mary, dressed in red and blue with her hair up, head surrounded by a halo of gold, holds the newborn baby Jesus swaddled in white amidst the hay. Two angels kneel on either side; one in pale pink and one in pale blue. A manger stands in the background.
In this postcard newly-born Jesus is shown in a manger in Bethlehem. Among him are three angels dressed in blue, yellow, and pink robes, praying for him and watching over him. At the bottom of the postcard "Welcome to the Happy New Year" is printed in Lithuanian.
Baby Jesus Clutching a Handful of Holly Branches Inside His Manger
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.
A blonde-haired child Jesus is sitting in a straw-bedded manger in the middle of a stable. At the base of the manger, there is a sheep, basket of fruit, and jug. A lantern shines next to him, and in the window there are two angels looking down.
Baby Jesus, closer to a toddler than a newborn, is sitting upright in a manger of straw, clothed in white and holding a flower. Three angels are behind him, in purple, red, and green, holding a ribbon banner that says "Gloria in Excelsis Deo Et in Terra Pax". Behind them are palm trees and shining stars. The bottom reads "A merry Christmas."
To the left, Mary supports baby Jesus on the manger, and Joseph stands behind them. To the right, three lavishly decorated magi bring him gifts. "A Merry Christmas" is printed at the bottom.
Done in a one-dimensional cartoon-like style, the Nativity scene is depicted outside a stable. Jesus is in a bed of straw on the ground with a haloed Mary, in blue, and Joseph, in brown and purple, behind him. Four angels in pink, blue, and green bring flowers to the babe. "Joyeux Noel" is printed in the upper right.
Mary, in red and blue, sits to the left with baby Jesus on her lap. Four angels observe them; all have either blonde or brown hair and are dressed in blue, green, orange, and lavender. "Christmas Wishes" is printed at the bottom.
