Below is the top of a globe of the world, Santa Claus and two reindeer are standing on it. Santa is making the victory sign with his fingers. At the top the card it reads: "Season's Greetings, Let's Stamp Out the Dictators!" On Uncle Sam's shoe it says "U.S. War Stamps." On the inside, to the left, is an American flag with holly and the verse "Remember each stamp, That anyone buys, Is another good kick, At those dictator guys! So keep right on buying, For all you are worth, And we'll soon have the Axis "Stamped" off the Earth!"
