Santa Claus
Santa Claus is in a dark coat the upper right, drawing back the curtain to make eye contact with an excited child. The child, dressed in a white gown, is sitting upright in a bed with a patchwork quilt of whites, greens, oranges and dark grays, excited to see Santa at their window. Black type at the bottom identifies it as 1702, the copyright holder and year, and a greeting that reads "Wishing You a Merry Christmas."

Father Christmas
Father Christmas is dressed in a long white robe and circular hat. He is sitting on the side of the bed of two girls. The bed has a curved metal railing and headboard. Beside it is a basket of toys, and on the wall are two flower arrangements. One of the girls is dressed in blue and the other in white. The greeting at the top is smudged, but seems to read "Roomsaid Joulu puhi".
