1913 Christmas Postcard Poinsettia Winter Scene Pennsylvania Mailed Dec 24

Oh what a find—this charming 1913 Christmas postcard is bursting with old-fashioned holiday spirit and Pennsylvania roots!

The illustrated side showcases gorgeous red poinsettias framing a peaceful snowy scene of a house at dusk, complete with glowing windows and bare trees. 'CHRISTMAS GREETING' stands out proudly in classic lettering against the decorative backdrop.

Flip to the back and travel back in time. Hattie wrote her warm wishes on Christmas Eve 1913: 'A Merry Christmas to you and Charley and a happy New Year From Hattie' addressed to Mrs. Charley Bushline in Sylbertsville, Longern Co Pa. That 1-cent stamp and clear postmark seal the deal on its authenticity.

It's more than just paper—it's a personal holiday message that crossed the state over 110 years ago, connecting families in a way we rarely see today.

This postcard shows its age beautifully with some gentle creases, light discoloration, and typical edge wear. The writing remains perfectly readable, and there's no major damage to worry about—just authentic vintage character.

Collectors of antique ephemera, Christmas memorabilia fans, or local history buffs will love adding this to their collection. It makes a wonderful conversation piece or thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates the past.

From the brick-patterned background to the delicate clover motifs on the 'Post Card' banner, every detail screams early 1900s craftsmanship. These cards were the social media of their day, and this one has survived remarkably intact.

Whether displayed in a frame or tucked into a scrapbook, this little card is ready to spread cheer once again in its new home.

Available for local pickup in Drums, PA
