Father Christmas
Father Christmas is standing behind a table what has a steaming silver punch bowl on it. In his right hand he raises a golden goblet. The 'legs' of the table say "Christmas" with icicles dangling beneath them, as well as two large ornaments with pink ribbon and scenes of a turkey and set table. Below that is a snowy scene of a sleigh coming from a house set in the hills and evergreen trees.
