Description:: A procession of church attendees (children in front) with wrapped items (most are cylindrical although there are some larger flat packages as well, held by adults) are handing off their packages to a man, and a pile of already received gifts are on a flat raised arc next to him. In the back of the church is a choir and small organ on a raised platform. Four men (3 sitting and 1 standing) are in chairs in front of the choir. Other church attendees remain seated while this gift procession is occurring. Two flags are in front of the choir, an American flag and possibly the Christian flag. Several undecorated Christmas trees are standing on either end of the center arc.
