Evergreen trees, like pines or firs are around them. Underneath, in red ink, are the words "THE / SEASON'S / GREETINGS" under which is a sprig of holly with berries. Inside is the message "I'm there with `A Merry / Christmas' / And `A Happy New Year' too, / For each glad greeting bears / repeating / When it's meant for one like you!" At the bottom, in black ink, is the handwritten name "Violet." Tied through two holes at the spine side of the front cover, but not used as binding, is a blue ribbon. Aside from light surface soiling and light foxing, the artifact is in good condition.Lexicon
