This postcard is oriented vertically and shows a wintertime night scene. Towards the top of the postcard a dark night sky is seen with a bright full moon towards the upper left corner. Lit homes and apartments are seen and snow sits on the rooftops. In the immediate foreground toward the right side of the card is Father Christmas wearing a long red robe with white fur trim and a hat to match. His hands are covered by white gloves and in his left hand he holds a tan bag full of something. His right hand is placed on a brown building to his right, This building has icicles hanging from its rooftop seen toward the center top of the card. It also has a lit window near Father Christmas' head with six panes. Around his waist is a piece of twine which hods a bundle of dried branches and a tan satchel. In front of him, leaning on its side against the brown building, is a small evergreen tree with a base made of two small pieces of wood nailed together to make an "X." To Father Christmas' immediate left is a wooden sleigh carrying wrapped packages. The sleigh sits low and reaches just past Father Christmas' ankles. A piece of brown string is tied on the front of the sleigh and lays on the snowy street. Father Christmas appears to be looking down at the sleigh. To the left of the sleigh in the corner it reads "A Merry Christmas" in brown script.

Father Christmas
This postcard has gold trim around all of its sides with holly leaves and berries in the corners and middles of the sides. Inside the gold trim is a pale blue background with a darker blue netting pattern. Three elves wearing green clothing, pointed hats, and pointed shoes are seen on the postcard. The elf on the top left is mostly covered by a gold 3D embellishment of Father Christmas driving a sleigh pulled by a reindeer and holding a small tree and assorted toys. This embellishment also covers some of a painting on the postcard which shows a shepherd and his sheep in a pasture at sunset or sunrise. In the center left of the postcard, it reads "With Hearty Christmas Greetings." To the right and below this are two other elves which have upset expressions on their faces. The elf on the right looks like it is trying to run from the writing, while the elf on the bottom left has fallen on its stomach and looks back at the inscription with an upset face.
