Victorian Santa & Children Christmas Card - Bright & Jolly Yuletide

An elderly man in deep red robes and fur trim looms over two children in a snowy wilderness, and he's clutching a small pine tree and what appears to be a toy figure — because apparently the best way to express 'Bright and Jolly Yuletide' is through an ambush with a fistful of props. The boy in brown reaches eagerly toward the dangling toy while the girl in green clutches something round, both radiating the specific energy of kids who've been told to look delighted or else. The whole scene has the vibe of a stranger-danger PSA that accidentally became a holiday card, set against a bleak winter landscape that ensures there are absolutely no witnesses.
