Victorian Christmas Sleigh Card with Children

Two porcelain-faced Victorian dolls sit rigidly in an unmanned red sleigh, sheltered by a jaunty red umbrella labeled 'Santa's Special,' apparently Santa's logistics team outsourced their delivery work because branding is everything even in a snowstorm. One doll clutches the umbrella in a cream dress and bonnet, while her pink-frocked companion sits beside a stuffed bear and a gold trumpet, because nothing says Christmas like hauling a brass instrument through a nor'easter. A holly branch is inexplicably bolted to the front of the sleigh like a festive hood ornament, a lone golden orb has already bailed off the back into the snow, and somewhere in the distance a solitary house watches this chaos unfold with the same dead-eyed calm as the dolls themselves.
