Saturday's postcard: Vintage Christmas snowball fight

This Whitney Made (Worcester, Massachusetts) postcard features an adorable snow fort and looming snowball fight featuring a couple of tots dressed up as Santa Claus. The message on the front states "A Merry Christmas to You (And I Hope It Hits You, too!)"

The card was mailed with a one-cent stamp and postmarked in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I think the year is 1915, but I'm not 100% sure on that. That was definitely a year in which postcard stamps cost a penny. The card was mailed to St. Louis, Missouri.

The short cursive message on the back states:
Dear Florence:
I wish you a merry Christmas, and hope Santa will be real good to you.
Your friend,
Louise Zackert
