                <text>It has 1946 written on the front along with "Newton nr. Preston/Lancs. England" It is unclear if this was the place where the card was received or where it was sent from. The card says "Merry Christmas" in German along with the image of a pine tree branch and a lit candle. Discoloration on the back could be the remains of extremely sun faded writing. Possibly the card was placed in a window frame at some point.</text>
