Then outdoors, a full moon rises over a sleepy, snow-covered village. There's a ring around the moon, so snow is on the way. In fact, it appears to have begun already!
There are touches of glitter in the folds of the curtains, on the little Christmas tree, and on the snow that drifts on the windowpane. At the top, a greeting in a pretty vintage font declares, "It's Christmas".
Inside the card is a vignette depicting the same village, only seen more clearly. The church is prominent, and I love that. On the back of the card is the little Christmas tree again.
The message in the card reads: "Within your home good health, Around your hearth good cheer -- The jolliest kind of Christmas And the happiest New Year."
I love this card; it's most likely from the 1950s. Hope you've enjoyed seeing it too!

You are most welcome, Debbie! I will probably be listing this card in my Etsy shop rather than keeping it. I have quite a collection already.
DeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was so unique!
DeleteLovely card and the quote is very nice
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it? Vintage cards are so sweet.
DeleteIs that the sign for snow, a ring around the moon? I never knew.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. When you see a ring like this one around the moon, you can be pretty sure snow is in the forecast.
