Father Christmas
Father Christmas stands under a street lamp looking at a booklet. He wears a long, dark cloak and has a backpack full of gifts and a Christmas tree. At his feet are boughs of holly. Beside him is a young girl wearing a pink dress and a navy, hooded cloak. They are in the snow, and behind them in the distance is a city. The bottom right corner has the words, "A Merry Christmas," and along the bottom edge the postcard is addressed to someone.

Father Christmas
Father Christmas, dressed in a long, green cloak with a backpack of gifts and a Christmas tree, leans down to listen to the young girl next to him. She is dressed in a pink coat and has braids in her hair. She is holding her hand up to his ear as if she is whispering a secret. It's dark out, and the two are standing in snow. At their feet is a holly branch, and the text, "A Merry Christmas."
