Daydreaming of Christmas at School — Honor C. Appleton Art Postcard

Chin propped on her hand, a girl in a checked skirt sits at her school desk while classmates read on behind her, her mind drifting to a lit Christmas tree, gifts, paper chains and flags, and a postman's bulging letter-bag spilling envelopes. Honor C. Appleton captures that particular ache of watching the clock before the holidays begin.

A fitting one to drop in the post yourself, since the girl in it is waiting on a letter too.
