In the whimsical underwater realm of "Neptune's Noel," a Christmas celebration like no other is unfolding beneath the waves. The scene is set within a coral reef cathedral, where the vibrant corals serve as the stained glass of this oceanic chapel, their colors ranging from deep sapphire to vivid magenta. At the center, a giant turtle, adorned with a Santa hat, takes on the role of a wise old conductor orchestrating the merriment. His flippers move gracefully as if leading an invisible choir. Surrounding him, a jovial pod of dolphins leap and spin in synchronized harmony, trailing ribbons of seaweed wrapped like garlands. A narwhal, the unicorn of the sea, holds a long string of luminescent pearls on its tusk, illuminating the scene with a soft, ethereal glow reminiscent of Beardsley's intricate linework. Beneath them, a family of seahorses are gathered around a makeshift Christmas tree made from sea anemones and starfish, each sea creature carefully hanging ornaments made of polished shells and tiny driftwood carvings, as though inspired by the detailed fantasy of Rackham. In the foreground, a mischievous octopus plays with a snow globe made of a glass fishing float, inside which a tiny scene of a snowman made of sand and seaweed unfolds, capturing the playful spirit akin to Blake's whimsical illustrations. Tiny bubbles rise like effervescent snowflakes, dancing towards the surface, while schools of fish, dressed in natural hues of red and green, swim in festive patterns, forming a living garland that encircles the entire tableau. This underwater festivity captures a timeless, magical moment, merging the marine wonder with the classic nostalgia of Christmas imagery, a tableau that would delight in both the intricate detail of Doré and the narrative charm of Sendak.
