Victorian Santa Christmas Greeting Card with Toys & Illuminated Tree

The Christmas tree blazes with actual lit candles — because apparently the best way to celebrate 'happy holidays' is with a structural fire waiting to happen — behind Santa, who has clearly given up on the whole 'jolly fat man' branding and arrived as a stout, floor-length red robe wearing figure clutching a plate of what appear to be cookies or small pastries with the energy of someone who absolutely did not bring enough for the whole class. The floor around him is strewn with a windmill toy, a toy house, a drum, wooden building blocks, and a doll in a pink dress that is aggressively judging everyone in the room. The doll's dead-eyed stare and coordinating outfit suggest she came pre-haunted, which honestly tracks for the era, and the whole scene radiates the specific energy of a man who wandered into the wrong living room but is committed to seeing it through.
