Hey Danmark!
I am going through some pieces of our family history and stumbled across this photo from our Danish side of the family. It has a note written on the back in Danish and I was hoping someone would kindly be able to translate it for me. Any help is appreciated!

“My dear little Emma,
With this picture of (probably a name), I send you many loving Christmas greetings”
That’s as far as I can get, unfortunately it’s written in ‘skråskrift’ which I was never trained to read or write. I hope someone else is able to make the rest out.
Møens Stenværk, den 15. december 1924.
Min kære lille Emma. Med dette billede af dagligstuen sender jeg mange hjertelige julehilsner og ønsker for det nye år og lykke og velsignelser for den gerning som du holder så meget af. Mine øjne er ikke gode og dagene er mørke. Lev vel hjertelige hilsner og tanker til dig min kære Emma fra din altid hengivne bedstemor Schmidt
