Father Christmas
In black and white, the card depicts a scene that looks like Father Christmas marrying a man and woman, although he may just be presenting them with a gift. He stands behind and above them, in front of a set of windows. The couple stands facing each other, the woman in white and the man in a suit, and he is holding her waist. There is a Christmas tree on the table to the left, and the bottom reads "Frohliche Weihnachten."
