Santa Claus
This vertically oriented postcard has a white border around all sides. The image shows a young boy and little curly-haired girl wearing all white clothing. They stand in a living space around a decorated Christmas tree. The boy is putting an ornament on the tree and stands beside a rocking horse and drum. The little girl stands in front of the tree playing with a doll in a yellow stroller. Behind the tree is the entryway to another room on the left side of the card and on the right behind the tree is a doorway. The bottom of the image reads "Hold this before a brilliant light, and Santa Claus will come in sight." When held up to the light, a long-bearded outline of Santa Claus appears behind the girl, along the wall and doorway on the right side of the card. He holds his right hand out pointed towards the tree and in his left hand holds a large bag. He has a hat on his head and looks at the tree.

Santa Claus
This postcard is oriented horizontally and has an off-white background. In the bottom left corner is a bundle of holly leaves and four, red holly berries. In the upper left corner in decorated script of blue, gold, red, green, and purple, it reads "Santa visits you to-day, may he bring good cheer, peace, content, and merriment for the coming year." To the right of this script is a young boy with straight, golden hair wearing a green and red outfit with tights. He faces toward a young girl across from him on the right side of the card. On his head is a green hat with a red feather and he holds a Santa Claus mask with a long white beard in front of his face. On his neck is a white fanned collar. His shirt has puffed shoulders with red and green stripes and is otherwise green with red cuffs on the sleeves. He has a red belt with a gold buckle and wears puffed green and red striped shorts with green tights. His feet are small and he wears red shoes with a slight heel. The girl across from him has dark brown hair piled on top of her head and pinned with holly leaves and berries. Her collar is large and white and fans out behind her. Her hands are clasped in front of her chest and over one elbow hangs a wreath made of holly leaves and berries. Her dress is golden with puffed shoulders with gold and blue stripes. The skirt looks like it has a hoop under it and has a blue stripe around the hem. She wears blue tights and brown shoes with a slight heel. She looks at the boy across from her with the Santa Claus mask.

Santa Claus
This postcard is oriented vertically and has a white background. In the center of the card, Santa Claus wears a red robe and hat with pale blue trim and also wears red gloves. He has a long white beard, but no mustache on his more youthful face and a small lock of white hair on his forehead is visible from under his hat. His hat has a blue tuft of hair on top and stands up, with gold stripes running along it. In his right hand, he holds a white bowl of red apples at waist level with green leaves poking out. In his left hand, he holds a black car at shoulder level. He smiles and looks down at a young boy in front of him, on the right side of the postcard. The boy stands on his tip toes, reaching up with bare hands towards the car in Santa's hand. He wears a grey sweatshirt with green cuffs and a green waistband, and a matching grey and green hat and a long red scarf around his neck. His shorts are a green-yellow color and he has gold tights on with dark brown shoes. He looks up with a smile at Santa Claus. To Santa's right is a woven basket filled with toys: a ball hangs from a net bag on the back right corner, a horse is seen, a teddy bear hangs out of the front of the basket, and an apple and walnuts sit in the snow in front of the basket. Behind these characters is a snowy hill with bare trees and a house in the upper right corner covered in snow and evergreens behind it. At the center bottom of the postcard it reads "Frohliche Weihnachten" in black, curled script.

Santa Claus
A window takes up most of the card; its frame is honey-colored and at its left is a green curtain with yellow dots and white stripes. Inside is a little blonde-haired boy in white pajamas that button up the back. At the window is a disproportionately large head view of Santa Claus. He has a white beard, red cap with purple trim, and is pointing a purple-gloved finger at the boy. The greeting in the bottom right reads "H-h-hello, Santa / A Merry Christmas".

Santa Claus
This card is very busy; firstly, it has a border of holly and bells around the upper 2/3 of the card. The bottom third is a poem, which is bordered by two Santas and bells on the bottom. It reads "And away the deers flew / like the down of a thistle / But St. Nick exclaimed ere / he drove out of sight / Happy Christmas to all and / to all a good night." Above that is a boy in white holding a joker doll; the background behind him is a decorated Christmas tree. Finally, above him in the upper 1/3 of the card, Santa Claus rides by houses over the snowy ground in a sleigh pulled by three reindeer.

Father Christmas
In the midst of a snowy forest clearing with evergreens and grasses in the background, Father Christmas is putting a boy into his bag. Father Christmas is dressed in a long star-studded red robe and cap with brown trim. He steadies his open yellow bag with his left hand, while he readies to put the boy he is holding under his right arm in face-first. The boy is dressed in blue and has blonde hair; his feet stick out from under Father Christmas's arm. His arms are outspread, and he has an expression of open-mouthed shock on his face. The greeting in the upper right reads "Loving Christmas Wishes".
