Description
Photograph of a group of women posing with a man dressed as Santa Claus on a beach, [s.d.]. A tall Christmas tree can be seen at center and it is decorated with bells and tinsel. The man dressed as Santa is sitting cross-legged at center and has a thick beard, a fur-trimmed jacket, and a fur-trimmed hat. He is wearing shorts. Thirteen women dressed in tanktops or bathing suits can be seen sitting or standing around Santa Claus. The ground is sandy, and several small buildings can be seen on a hill in the background at left. The ocean is faintly visible in the distance at right.
