Lovely! Warmly clad children being useful. Excellent.
I worry about the workers who have to put all the glitter on Christmas cards nowadays. Also, last year there were a lot of black ones, which I found puzzling.
Sorry, being confusing. I meant that there were a lot of cards with a black background as part of the design. I found it a bit baffling, as I don't think black could be considered festive!
What a cute card. I'm always on the lookout for antique post card greetings but it's hard to find ones which haven't been written on already. Further to the 'colours' discussion, black and silver gift wrap, ribbons and bows was the in thing here a couple of years ago :) I seem to remember seeing it and thinking it was strangely unfestive, then my friend gave me a stack of it when she was decluttering her house. It does look lovely but not traditionally festive. I use it for birthdays, usually the blokes :)
I quite like messages and stamps on the backs of postcards. A couple of weeks ago a man at the market was selling a fat album full of beautiful ones; I was sorely tempted.
Black ribbons? Nooo. I favour tradition over style at Christmas, even if it's a bit naff.
Well, I like messages on the back of postcards as well but if I'm looking to send an old postcard to someone for Christmas or birthday I need it to be blank :)
I'm the same really, tradition over style, at Christmas anyway :)
ETA: I probably would have been tempted with the album :)

It was actually a good buy at £100.00 but I couldn't justify it.

Nice find! Was there a message on the back, or just a name? And was the stamp still there?

Yes, message saying, 'Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year' from x,y & z, and a Dutch stamp.
