At the top of the Illustration Style image, “Merry Christmas”

Hand-drawn illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes, warm and expressive color palette (cranberry reds, pine greens, candlelit golds, soft snowy blues). Portrait orientation, balanced composition: a festive exam hall with long rows of tiny desks leading to a vanishing point, twinkling fairy lights and paper snowflakes strung between rafters, frosty windows showing gentle snowfall outside.

Center aisle: Santa as the stern-but-kind exam invigilator, wearing an academic gown over his red suit, round glasses low on his nose, holding a candy-cane striped stopwatch and a clipboard, one finger to his lips for “shhh.” On either side, students at individual desks: a reindeer with taped-down jingle bells concentrating hard; a flustered snowman nervously erasing, a little snowball “sweat” bead rolling; a gingerbread person nibbling the end of a pencil; an elf trying to hide a cracker that looks suspiciously like a “cheat sheet” while looking guiltily at Santa; a penguin perched on a booster cushion, focused with adorable intensity. A big round wall clock ticks above, holly tucked around its frame.

Include one small, cheeky line of text as a sign at the front of the hall: “Silence, please—only Silent Nights allowed.”

Lighting is cozy and golden from fairy lights with cool winter daylight pooling from the windows; subtle cross-hatching and watercolor-like washes, visible paper texture, soft shadows under desks and chairs; gently humorous expressions and body language. No other readable text anywhere in the scene.
