SummaryCaption: "Every year Santa Claus heads a parade of Brooklynites who get off a train at Port Jefferson and march up Myrtle Ave. to the St. Charles Home for Crippled Children.

Gleason, Edward F. Kelleher, and Joseph L. Walsh." Images includes two large dolls and two boxed games on table in foreground.
