This illustrated postcard shows Santa Claus standing on snowy ground beside a wooden fence. Santa wears a red coat and hat with white trim and black boots. He holds a wrapped rectangular gift in his left arm and carries a bundle of evergreen branches over his right shoulder. His white beard is long and full.

Behind Santa, an early open-frame biplane rests on the snow. The aircraft has two fabric-covered wings supported by visible struts and wires. It sits on spoked wheels. The plane is loaded with wrapped gifts and evergreen branches placed along the fuselage and rear section. A pilot’s seat and mechanical components are visible, with no enclosed cockpit.

The landscape is wintery and flat, with snow-covered ground, small leafless shrubs, and a distant treeline. The sky shows a pale yellow and orange band near the horizon, suggesting sunrise or sunset. Icicle shapes form a decorative border around the image.

Printed text below the illustration reads: “Merry Christmas. Santa in his aeroplane has come to greet you on this joyous day.” The artwork reflects early 20th-century postcard illustration and combines Christmas imagery with early aviation.

Photo of Shogun Santa with Cinnamon Roll and Danish Pastry, Mastodon stuffed toys, outdoors by a giant decorated Christmas tree around Japanese-style buildings during a bright afternoon. From top to bottom, Shogun Santa's visible attire consists of: a golden kabuto helmet; rectangular glasses; a white, bushy, wig-and-beard combo; a red-and-gold happi coat; black mid-calf pants; white tabi socks; and wooden, black-fabric geta footwear. They are sitting on a beige upholstered bench with wooden legs outdoors in front of a towering, elaborately decorated Christmas tree. Shogun Santa is sitting with his legs parted and back straight, his arms held out at a 90-degree angle in front of him as he stares right at the camera. Cinnamon Roll sits in his right hand while Danish Pastry sits in his left hand. Between Shogun Santa and the Christmas tree behind him are giant, decorative presents, and further in the background are white, two-story buildings with Japanese-style windows and tiled roofs.
