St. George Mission Christmas

A group of children and a few adults pose on a front porch with a person dressed as an early twentieth century version of Santa Claus. They are cluster around him on the porch of the house dressed in coats, dresses, suite coats, pants, with some wearing hats. One young woman stands out wearing a light colored blouse. She stands next to the Santa Claus and has her hair tied at the top of her head and a light colored ribbon tied around her head. Most of the children hold papers and/or round objects in their hands. This could be presents as the description on the back of the photograph alleges this to be a "Mission Christmas." The Santa Claus is wearing a fake white long beard and a dark robe with white double trim done the front. In the foreground is a wet sidewalk and snow. The background is dominated by the porch of the house.
