The front cover of the Christmas greetings card is a whimsical, bustling theatre stage under a sparkling holiday spotlight. The proscenium arch is festooned with garlands and twinkling fairy lights, framing a vibrant, winter-themed play. At center stage, a cheerful Santa Claus is caught mid-monologue, script in hand, with a big, exaggerated open mouth—akin to the expressive style of Charles Schulz's characters. His trusty reindeer ensemble, each adorned in theatrical costumes reminiscent of Shakespearean thespians, stand beside him. The lead reindeer, wearing a ruff collar and holding a tiny plastic skull, playfully mimics Hamlet, delivering "To sleigh or not to sleigh."

The backdrop is a snowy village scene, where cardboard cutout houses have their windows aglow, with cut-out stars twinkling above. Perched on the fake rooftops are penguins dressed as a Greek chorus, in chiton-style robes, singing holiday carols with exaggerated expressions, reminiscent of Bill Watterson’s playful style. The stage floor is scattered with oversized, colorfully wrapped presents, and a toy train puffs smoke as it loops around the set's edge.

On stage left, a comical snowman, with exaggerated limbs and a carrot nose too long for his face, performs a dramatic soliloquy, perhaps in the vein of Gary Larson’s wit, gazing earnestly into a "snow globe" that houses a miniaturized version of the scene itself. Stage right, a mischievous elf in a director's beret gestures dramatically with a candy cane, orchestrating the entire production with flair reminiscent of Hergé's clean lines.

Above the stage, in the rafters, the name "Vince" is cleverly integrated into the scene, crafted in glistening, snow-dusted letters as part of a banner held aloft by two cheeky cherubs with expressive, slightly exaggerated faces. This playful nod ensures Vince's presence is woven seamlessly into this holiday theatrical extravaganza.
