Father Christmas
This postcard has gold trim around all of its sides with holly leaves and berries in the corners and middles of the sides. Inside the gold trim is a pale blue background with a darker blue netting pattern. Three elves wearing green clothing, pointed hats, and pointed shoes are seen on the postcard. The elf on the top left is mostly covered by a gold 3D embellishment of Father Christmas driving a sleigh pulled by a reindeer and holding a small tree and assorted toys. This embellishment also covers some of a painting on the postcard which shows a shepherd and his sheep in a pasture at sunset or sunrise. In the center left of the postcard, it reads "With Hearty Christmas Greetings." To the right and below this are two other elves which have upset expressions on their faces. The elf on the right looks like it is trying to run from the writing, while the elf on the bottom left has fallen on its stomach and looks back at the inscription with an upset face.

Christmas Postcards
This postcard is oriented vertically and has a thin white and gold border on all sides except the bottom. All figures in the postcard are outlined in a shimmering gold border. The scene inside the borders shows a snowy night scene with three elves with long white beards and mustaches. The night sky is a silver and striated, speckled with gold, green, and bronze stars. Towards the upper right corner of the postcard hangs a crescent moon very near the earth. From this moon hangs an elf wearing a green jacket, red pants, a yellow-orange cap, and checkered shoes. With his left hand, he reaches towards the top tip of the moon, holding a red 5 playing card under his thumb. In his right hand hangs a white bag presumably holding coins. It is marked with "1000" in black script and has a red dot near the top. In front of where he sits on the moon are 5 bags exactly like this, while behind him is one bag like this. This elf looks out smiling with an open mouth at another elf on the ground. From the moon hangs icicles. Directly below the moon, elf and these icicles stands an elf wearing a green jacket, blue pants, gold boots with pointed toes, and a blue cap with red, white and gold designs. He stands with most of his back toward the viewer and hods up a gold bag at waist level. He looks up to the elf on the moon, presumably ready to catch the bag of coins hanging from his hand. The elves on the ground stand on a snowy hillside. The third elf is near the left bottom corner of the postcard and is bent over a red, gold, and green sled with four bags of coins as he places a fifth onto it. He looks over his left shoulder up at the elf hanging from the moon. He wears a red jacket, a yellow cap with 2 red stripes, and red and green checked shoes. Under the feet of the elf reaching up to catch the bag of coins is the phrase "New Year's Greetings" in gold script. "New Year's" is underlined in gold.

Behind him, two elves in green and red with pointed caps are following him in a smaller sled. There is a church in the right background. There is black handwriting along the bottom and a faintly printed "Frohliche Weihnachten!"
