A typical Christmas scene with a boy and a girl who might be brother and sister, in the company of a Golden Retriever dog, placing their letters to Santa Claus into a mailbox (the envelop reads: "To Santa, North Pole"). They are depicted with naturalism in an updated scene with a focus on small details: the winter garments worn by the children have a woolen-knit texture; a traditional cast-iron mailbox has an antique flavor; there is snow on the mailbox as well as on the ground, and a Christmas wreath with mistletoe and a red ribbon.
