Christmas Card From Long Ago

This little card was passed down to me from my Daddy’s youngest sister, Ethel after Grandmother and Daddy had passed away. I love to get it out at this time of year to think about my Daddy spending Christmas fighting in France during World War I. Wondering where he bought the card and how he spent that day. Also wondering when he mailed it and how long it took for Grandma to get it in Tyro, Kansas. It is a beautiful little card and it is in very good condition considering it is almost ninety years old.
