Christmas Postcards
This postcard is oriented vertically and shows a wintry scene. On the card, a woman is seen stepping out of a home onto a snowy sidewalk. Her face is not clear, but she hods a book under her left arm and wears a blue dress, white apron, and white bonnet. The lawn in front of the house has evergreen plants covered in snow. The house is two stories and there are three sets of windows of 9 individual panels, all of which are lit up with red candles. The house has a billowing chimney in its center and a steep roof, all covered in snow. The house also has green shutters against its dark brown exterior on either side of each set of windows. The doorway that the woman is walking from has a door with a curved top, and the door stands open as she walks out, but light shines from the two windows built into the door. The upper right corner reads "A Happy New Year."

Sledding Fr. Christmas Figures
Roseliep Christmas Postcard Collection
Roseliep, Raymond
Christmas Postcards
This postcard is oriented horizontally in a snowy and hilly landscape. In the upper right corner is a snow covered village. Sledding on a long, low, and wooden sled away from this village down a steep snowy hillside are five nearly identical figures looking like Father Christmas. From the front of the sled working toward the back they are wear robes colored red, orange, blue, green, and orange. They each have hoods over their heads and have long, straight white beards and mustaches and look toward the viewer, all without an expression on their faces. The four figures behind the lead have their left arm up on their shoulder for support, while the lead figure has his left hand down on a lever near the bottom of the sled. Packages can be seen to be falling from this sled on the right side of the card on the hill top as they sled past. The figures hold assorted small trees, packages, and toys. On the right side of the postcard on the hilltop are snow covered small evergreen trees, while similar trees can be seen on the left side of the postcard in the foreground, and as a line farther in the distance on a different hill. Near the bottom left corner it reads in green, curled script, "Bonne Annee!"
