Additional Details:
A Christmas greeting card featuring an illuminated manuscript style design with decorative initial letters and borders. The poem reads, "Christmas Joys be Thine. The Christ Child comes with soft, light feet To touch earth's paths, and make them sweet. Where'er those shining footsteps new light and hope are over all. New Love springs up beneath their tread; New glory on the old is shed. And whoso follows where they go tastes a deep joy no others know." The design includes an ornate 'C' and 'W' with floral and leaf motifs in red, blue, and gold.
