Prominently displayed in decorative red script are the words "To Wish you A Bright New Year." A small number "2408" is printed in the lower left corner, and the word "POPPIES" appears in the lower right. The reverse of the postcard is divided, with "Post Card" printed across the top. The left side is marked "THIS SPACE MAY BE USED FOR CORRESPONDENCE," while the right side is for the address, marked "FOR ADDRESS ONLY." A one-cent U.S. postage stamp featuring George Washington is affixed to the upper right corner. The card bears a circular postmark with the date "DEC 24 1910." The handwritten message on the left side is in Norwegian, reading: "Jeg önskerdig en Gladelig Jul og et godt nytaar. Fra Ethel Reigstad". This translates to "I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. From Ethel Reigstad." The postcard is addressed to "Mr. Stefen Reigstad, Pennock, RH2 Minn." This postcard, postmarked on December 24, 1910, perfectly captures the festive spirit of the holiday season, conveying both Christmas and New Year wishes to a recipient in rural Minnesota, likely reflecting Scandinavian cultural heritage in the region.
