Drawn in a cartoon-like style, the card depicts Father Christmas in a long red coat with his companion reindeer, harnessed with bells. Father Christmas is carrying a bag full of fruit and apples, and balloons drift over his shoulder. There is a bag near the bottom of the card and a package reading "A merry Christmas".
Santa Claus, dressed in his red coat and blue pants, is carrying a decorated tree over one shoulder. In his other hand, he holds balloons and a drum dangles at his belt. Printed at the bottom is the greeting "Christmas Wish" and the poem "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."
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."

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."
