Victorian Christmas Card Children Sledding Holly Wreath

A light blue gift box is gripped firmly by a boy whose calm, unblinking gaze suggests he absolutely did something to it before wrapping it. The two rosy-cheeked children career down the snowy hill with the uncanny, dead-eyed serenity of youngsters who have never once been told 'no,' while the girl clutches her muff and holly berries like they are the only things standing between her and the void. Icicles hang overhead, snow falls decoratively, and yet somehow the whole scene radiates the specific energy of a Victorian child who will grow up to own a factory and feel nothing.
