Father Christmas
Father Christmas is dressed in a long yellow coat and golden crown. He carries an overflowing bag of toys on his back as well as a Christmas tree in his right hand. Behind him is a sled, and then tall houses in the background. An angel in pink stands to the right of the card with its back toward the viewer; it and Father Christmas are pulling the doorbell of a house with a fancy door. The bottom reads "Vive St. Nicolas!"

Father Christmas
A short Father Christmas is wearing a orange-brown robe, red hat, and carrying a satchel and bag as well as a walking stick. The viewer sees him through an scalloped archway of a building surrounded by evergreen. He appears to be walking through an upper-level street of a city; behind him are brown houses and a church with more buildings in the background. The moon and stars are partially obscured by a mixture of differently shaded gray clouds. "A merry Christmas" is printed below Father Christmas' feet.
