Celebrate the holiday season with this beautiful antique 1915 embossed Christmas postcard. The front features a vibrant illustration of Santa Claus (Kriss Kringle) dressed in a bright red coat with dark fur trim, carrying a large green sack overflowing with colorful toys. He stands alongside a brick wall holding open a large scroll that displays a whimsical holiday poem:

"Merrie Christmas - May Kriss Kringle with his pack bring you everything you lack. I am sure if I were he I would do it now - you'd see!"

The back reveals a clear, historically significant postal history, postmarked from Oakland, California, on December 23, 1915. It includes a handwritten holiday message addressed to Elmira, California. This charming piece of early 20th-century holiday ephemera is a perfect addition for postcard collectors or vintage Christmas displays.
