Inside the card features a coloured image of a group of birds purched on a brick wall. The greetings read 'A Jolly Christmas May Be Yours'. There is also a verse by E.E. Griffin which reads 'Oh! for a pen ne'er dipt in gall,/That tells the truth to one and all,/That will no scandal e'er repeat,/And only write the short and sweet!,/Well, here is one, - you're welcome to it,/'Twill meet your wants-none else will do it'.
