Night Before Christmas
| Description: |
A toddler dressed in pajamas is shown standing on the stairs. Through a doorway at the bottom of the stairs, Santa Claus can be seen holding up a drum in front of a Christmas tree. To Santa Claus is written in pencil on the stairs under where the child is standing. The edge of the card has a gold embossed design. The message on the back of the postcard reads: Dear Mr Riley I love your poems but I love the one to Santa Claus best. I wish you much happiness and successes for the future. My Grand Ma just died to. Wish you a Merry Christmas. Frederick Julian Werkhover 525 High St., Memphis, Tennessee. |
