Reading the Old German language

[SuzanneLivingston]

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting.  I have an old photograph with hand written German on the back.  Of course, I don’t speak German.  I was hoping  there maybe someone who could help.  I am searching for information on my Grandfather side of the family and came across this old photo.  This picture looks like my Grandfather when he was younger but after speaking to my sister she believed my Grandfather had a brother.  There is a date of 1925 so I’m hoping there’s a name somewhere on there.

I have attached what’s on the back of the photo. Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

Einen freundlichen Weihnachts-

Your brother sends a friendly Christmas greeting
Max

I wish you Happy Holidays and New Year at the same time.
Christmas 1925

I'm not 100% sure about Max, but I don't see another name in it.

Thank you so much for your help.  That gives me a first name of my grandfather’s brother.

I have another photo and on the back I believe it’s in German.  Not sure if you can decipher this.  These are my grandmother family.  I can see the name Hannelore, which was my Aunt child.  I am attaching pics with hopes you can read this or a part of the hand writing.

Thank you in advance.  Suzanne

In the mirror you can see the advent calendar.
On mothers right side you see Waldemar's daughter Trautchen (Traute)
Hannelore is stood in front of her small tree.
Leanor?? also stood in front of the mirror once

my 2 cents worth.

Re the second translation: In der Spiegel ist der Advents Kranz zu sehen. which translates as, In the mirror you can see the advents wreath.  it looks to me like its hanging from the ceiling and 2 of the 4 lit candles can be seen.  The last sentence I read Eleanor. kind regards Meg
