Santa Claus
Santa Claus is dressed in a short red coat and long tan stockings. There is a bulletin on the white and green brick wall that says: "A Toast to Christmas / A toast to Christmas, the / day of good cheer, / No other can equal it during / the year. / May it be for you the jolliest yet; / That's what I'm wishing for / you - you bet!"

Santa Claus
Santa Claus is dressed in a red coat; his face is quite red as well. In one hand he raises a glass as a toast, and in the other is a smoking cigar. There is holly behind him, and in front of him there is an ornate cornucopia-like decoration with an eagle, fruit, and nuts. In its center is a blue and white crest with the words "To All Best Christmas Wishes."
