To the right of the crowd, Edward Shaffer, dressed as Santa Claus, stands elevated from the crowd and hands out gifts to children in the crowd. He faces towards camera as he picks up a gift. The large pile of gifts sit the right of him. Behind and to the right of him, children form a line. Beyond Santa Claus and the crowd, cars park in a row. Farther back, the Farmers' Public Market stall stretches across the background.
