Antique embossed Christmas postcard featuring a white-robed Santa Claus surrounded by children, carrying toys including a doll, drum, horn and other gifts. A Christmas tree and snowy village scene appear in the background.

Front reads “A Merry Christmas.” Postally used from Boston, Massachusetts on December 22, 1908, with an intact green one-cent Franklin stamp.

The unusual white Santa robe is a strong collector feature and makes this more desirable than many conventional red-suited Santa cards.
