The printed Madison Park Greetings card depicts a festive dinner scene, with the inside inscribed in red ink by Neil, “We hope to pop in on you one of these days!” and signed, “Carol & Neil Armstrong.” Also included is Armstrong’s personal printed Christmas card from Rivendell Farm, reading “Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year – Janet and Neil Armstrong.” Both are accompanied by the original mailing envelopes.
