Victorian Christmas Card with Anthropomorphic Vegetables and Wine Bottle

Pure unbridled festive chaos radiates from every corner of this scene—Victorians were apparently so committed to holiday pandemonium that they gave a giant parsnip a human face, holly on its head, yellow trousers, and boots, then let it dance on a doily next to a woman who is cheerfully rolling a massive Christmas pudding across the floor while a sentient wine bottle watches approvingly from behind. A smiling wine glass on a stem cheers from the left, a corkscrew flails dramatically in the background, and two bell-shaped figures in matching pale dresses waddle in from the right like some kind of avant-garde serving-ware sorority. The text reads 'A Merry Christmas — And So Say All Of Us,' which is technically true because every single anthropomorphic food item in this image is absolutely unhinged with holiday spirit.
