Victorian Santa Christmas Greeting Card with Snowy Winter Scene

Like a home invasion captured in greeting card form, Santa here has the calm, placid expression of a man who absolutely will not be stopped — he's barreling through a blizzard clutching an entire Christmas tree over his shoulder like a battering ram, red coat flapping, red boots stomping, with what appears to be a small child riding the tree behind him like some kind of festive hostage. The icicles dripping from the inner frame suggest this is a man who runs cold in every sense, and the holly and berries decorating the bottom are doing heroic work trying to make this look cheerful rather than threatening. This isn't a holiday card so much as a warning: Santa is already inside your perimeter, he brought his own tree, and he did not ask permission.
