Children dancing in a ring around a lit tree make this card stand apart from the many Christmas images on the Occasions board, since the scene is built around play rather than a religious or formal setting. Holiday postcards like this one were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printers produced them in large numbers and mailing a card became a common way to send seasonal greetings. The "Merry Xmas" lettering reflects the shortened form of the holiday name that appeared often on printed cards of the period. Look closely at the children's clothing and the tree's decorations, which show how families of that era marked the season.
