Public policy, and Christmas Card

At the top of the Surreal Style image, What does the policy wonk want for Christmas…

A dreamlike, Dali-inspired snowy expanse where reality bends like warm taffy: a giant evergreen shaped like a judge’s gavel sprouts from a dune of “white papers,” their edges melting into snow. Ornaments are tiny globe-spheres marked with abstract icons for CO₂, GDP, and equity, glinting under an auroral sky that twists into ribbon-like line graphs and candy-cane trend lines. Santa, reinvented as a cheerful policy wonk, peers through horn-rimmed glasses, riding a sleigh made of a stacked bar chart; the reindeer tug playful red-and-blue tinsel that morphs into literal red tape spiraling across the scene. A budget pie (an actual steaming pie) levitates, with glistening slices drifting off like moons; nearby, elves in lab coats measure tinsel with calipers while a snowman filibusters through a scarf that loops into an endless Möbius strip. Snowflakes fall as embossed rubber stamps—Approved, Amended, Unanimous—softly imprinting the drifts. Long, surreal shadows, ethereal golden hour light, pearlescent highlights on frost, painterly textures, high detail, whimsical and funny. Palette: icy blues, candy reds, mint greens, warm gold. Full-bleed, cinematic composition, soft volumetric glow, no border or watermark.

At the bottom as a small, cheeky caption in hand-lettered style: A fully funded wish list—no riders, just reindeer.
