Nice set of Xmas postcards. From the days when local next-day mail delivery was the norm, and when they delivered mail on Christmas Day.
On that last one, it looks like someone is still learning how to properly use a divided-back postcard.

Merry Christmas all.

https://goscf.com/t/11887&whichpage=131#454313

Today's trio starts with another mailed Christmas seal,



Alderpoint,



and that Hardy pc I mentioned on the 28th. This card has always amused me. The Hardy stage driver was Fred LeValley, and Hardy was the end of the route so Fred probably had lunch, or at least stopped in to say Hi with Mom, who sent the card.
