The front of this Christmas greeting card consists of the Three Wise Men that came to the manger where Jesus Christ was born. The three Wise Men are traveling on camels through the sand. Palm trees are located in the background. The shadows and trees ground/anchor the composition as a whole. When you open the card, the words “May your Christmas be blessed with joy and your New Year bring you peace and happiness”. This phrase is printed in gold ink in a script font. The top portion of the card included two more palm trees along with a little collection of shelters. These buildings most likely represent the town of Bethlehem. Above this town is a gold star.
