The black-and-white card shows Father Christmas in a hooded robe standing at a full dinner table. It holds a pot, wine bottle, glass, main dish and more. The background is a rough wooden wall with a door frame to the right. He is holding a card with red writing which reads, "Ne vous embetez pas trop dans cette nouvelle annee!" or, 'Do not bother too much in this new year.'
A haloed golden-haired child in a pink gown stands next to a grape vine. In one hand, they hold a wine cup, and with the other are squeezing grapes into it. The background is a mountainous country scene.
The card is separated by a holly leaf into two scenes. To the left, a woman in a yellow dress with her hair pinned up reads a card. To the right, a well-dressed group of two men and two women sits around a table making a joyful toast. The message at the top reads "Christmas Post Card for Drummers / 'Tho far away, my thoughts to-day / Are of you, my dear, and home: / Stern duty parts two loving hearts / And sends me forth to roam. / The season's joys for you and the boys / Your wandering hubby - alone!"
