Brickipedia

“The legs are made up of one cubic 2x2 with a flat one underneath, creating the effect of the legs close together. The body is large and red, with white lining at the base and a yellow "hand" on the right side. The left arm is holding a black sac over the shoulder. The face... More is yellow with two black dots for eyes and one red dot for the mouth. Underneath the face is a white sloped brick depicting the beard. The hat is red with a white tip and droops over the ride side of the head.”

About Basic Seasonal

LEGO has produced various seasonal and holiday-themed sets over the years. These sets often coincide with holidays like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and Valentine's Day, among others. The LEGO Basic theme, which began in the 1970s, was designed to be a more general, non-thematic series of sets. Unlike the themed sets that revolve around concepts, the Basic theme provided a collection of standard LEGO bricks and pieces.

Seasonal consists of 18 sets that ran from 1977 to 2000. As of today, 246-2 Santa and Sleigh is the most valuable Seasonal set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $206.
