Children wait in lines to enter the Bozzani Motor Company during the dealership's annual Christmas party. The children appear to form 2 lines. Four children stand in a line at center and face towards the right. A police officer stands behind them at left. The other line stretches along the lower right edge. The children in this line stand with their backs to camera. A man in a white jacket stands in front of them, facing camera. Behind the man in the white jacket, a Santa Claus stands in the dealership's threshold. He faces camera and raises both arms up. The dealership's shop window stretches to the left of him.
