Father Christmas Watches Children Rummage Through Bag
Description
The central scene of the card depicts two children, a girl on the left dressed in white and red and a boy on the right dressed in green and brown, going through Father Christmas' bag of brightly colored toys. Some of the toys have spilled out and lay on the ground. On the far side of the bag stands Father Christmas, dressed in a hooded brown coat, holding a Christmas tree in one hand. The background is a dark forest. The card is bordered in cream with a holly decoration at the bottom. "I send the old Greeting, tendered year by year" is printed at the top and "A Merry Christmas" is at the bottom.
