Christmas Postcards
Santa Claus
Santa Claus, in a light brown coat, sits at his desk writing a letter. Behind him on the right is a window opened to show a snowy scene. Almost directly behind him is a rip-off calendar showing "Dec 25" and his red coat and hat hanging up. To the left of the card are the tools and products of his workshop: a saw, wood, and hammer on a table with finished toys like a houseboat, dolls, and toy cat surrounding. There is a holly decoration in the upper left corner, and printed at the bottom is "Santa Clauss Reply to ----- Letter" with a large blank letter on a slant even with and above the words.

Santa Claus
The main part of the card is a head view of Santa Claus. He has a red cap on, and his long white beard appears to be merged and flowing from the flame of a candle in the lower left of the card. Pictured over his beard is a young girl with brown hair, dressed in light yellow pajamas and a lace cap. She is sitting on a pillow and writing a letter - an envelope rests to her left, and to the right is a pile of stockings. "The Night before Christmas" is printed in the upper right, and "A Merry Christmas" is the greeting in the lower right.

The card's main scene is portrayed as if the viewer is looking through a keyhole. There, a family surrounds the golden light of a lit fireplace. Above the fireplace are stockings. In front of it, three males sit on the rug while one boy writes a letter. A woman with a toddler stands to the left, and the toddler is trying to throw a sheet of paper into the fire. Around the keyhole is an outdoor scene. Santa Claus stands at the chimney to the house with a decorated Christmas tree. On the right is seen his sleigh and reindeer. The greeting in the bottom right reads "Best Christmas Wishes".
