Card:

Dear Folks: as I dont know whereyou will be Xmas, we are sending your package to day, and hope you will both get a lot of good out of it. This is you Xmas present, will send wedding present later. I see this card is soiled a little but it is the only one that I have & want to get ready for Bob to mail at so will have to do. Bobby’s out of school this week - is very much much enthused over santa trying to rain again this morning. Why dont you and Larry come here for Xmas dinner it isnt very far and gravel all the way Don’t want to do anything to ???? your dad but would like to have you some here. Mother and Pauline are here & looking for Allen & his wife & Frances will be here too. Love to all Crilla.

My Questions:

When did people start using Xmas as the term for Christmas?

Observations/Notes:

I am not sure if the part that says “santa trying to rain again” actually says that considering that makes no sense to me…
