Santa Claus
Santa Claus has one foot in the red brick chimney on top of a roof. He is dressed in his traditional red suit and has a bag of toys on his back as well as four bright balloons in his hand. The circle behind him in the background shows a blue sky and stars. The bottom reads: "Christmas Greetings / If you've a narrow chimney, dear, O, please / don't have a single fear - He'll manage it."

Santa Claus
The card actually depicts two different views of Santa Claus. The main one is in the center of the card, showing Santa in a red coat and blue pants while carrying a tree, drum, and balloons. In the upper left there is a smaller circular inset also showing Santa Claus, although in a slightly different style of red suit, and carrying a tree. The bottom of the card reads "Christmas Wish / Oh, for a glimpse of the old home / And its dear ones, tried and true; / I'd be so happy if I could / Spend Christmas Day with you."
