Victorian Christmas Greeting Card: Children Sledding in Snow

Two rosy-cheeked children hurtle down a snowy hill on a green sled, the girl in a purple dress with a dramatic red sash clinging to the boy with the energy of someone who absolutely did not consent to this speed. The boy, sporting a red pompom hat and a brown jacket, has one hand raised to his hat in what reads less as 'whee, winter fun' and more as 'I have made a terrible mistake.' Behind them, a sunset of biblical proportions illuminates the snow while a few sad little pine trees bear witness to whatever this is. 'A Merry Christmas,' declares the gold script — unbothered, unapologetic, and apparently fine with all of it.
