Title supplied by cataloger.; Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph has a vertical crease in the middle of the picture. Photograph caption dated December 27, 1960 reads "A pooped Santa rests his aching feet in his North Pole den and dreams of fighting his way through a forest of television antennas tonight. Sure, it's only one night a year. But did you ever try slipping down a dirty chimney in your middle age? And sometimes he wonders if it's all worth it, especially on his tour through the Valley. Last year he went down four chimneys that turned out to be barbecue pits!"
