Victorian Christmas Angel Greeting Card with Toys & Holly

An angel child clutching a sprig of holly like a bouncer checking IDs floats above a snow-dusted Victorian village with the serene confidence of someone who absolutely has not checked the naughty list, hauling a basket overflowing with toys — a horn, what appears to be a small house, a ball, and assorted other loot. Her expression is not 'divine messenger of joy' so much as 'I know what you did, and I brought a trumpet about it.' A shooting star streaks overhead, two gold bells and holly berries decorate the foreground, and the whole composition radiates the very specific energy of a being who delivers gifts to good children and simply *hovers* over the houses of everyone else. The text reads 'A Merry Christmas,' which feels less like a greeting and more like a warning.
