Father Christmas Chooses Toys
Title
Father Christmas Chooses Toys
Description
Father Christmas, dressed in a long red robe, is seated in a chair at the end of a small brass bed. His bag of toys is on the floor in front of him, and he reaches into the top to pull out a toy trumpet from among the dolls and other gifts. A drum and ball are on the floor next to the bag. Two brunette children are asleep in the bed and four full stockings hand at the end. In the background is a lavishly decorated and lighted tree. "Withing you a happy Christmas" is in the upper right.
