Summary

One sheet designed to look like a standard 1040 tax form, but covering the center of the form is an image of Santa Claus, wearing a bandit mask, sheriff's star and carrying a gun. He holds out an Uncle Sam top hat underneath the text "your income" which is circled in red with the words "put it here!" nearby.
On another slip of paper in red text is printed: Betty and Boris Artzybasheff wish you Merry Christmas and the best of everything, and above all, the best of health!
