Children pose beside Santa Claus and his sleigh during the Shriners' Christmas party. About a dozen children stand in a cluster at left. They all don fezzes that read, "FS," and hold up the gifts they received. At center, a Shriner member stands to the right of the group and points towards the children. Behind him, from left to right, Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse stand in a sleigh. The Mickey Mouse character holds onto the sleigh's reins. Hoofed animals stand in partial view ahead of the sleigh at right. Painted scenery stretches across the background.
