A small Victorian-era Christmas card featuring a fairy and flowers. The verse on the card appears in J. S. Ogilvie, compiler, The Album Writer's Friend: Comprising More Than Three Hundred Choice Selections of Poetry and Prose, Suitable for Writing in Autograph Albums, Valentines, Birthday, Christmas, and New Year Cards (1881), p. 60. A Merry Christmas Christmas comes, let every heart In Christmas customs bear its part: The old be young, the sad be gay And smiles chase every care away.

"Hallowe'en. Friendly fairy, witch, or fay, fulfill the wish you wish to-day. Ellen H. Clapsaddle."

But how can we be happy when the Fairy Pied Piper (who seems to be playing a flower rather than a pipe) is leading all of the chicks away from the village? Note also the inset photo of a girl and a boy in the middle of the postcard.
