At the top of the Illustration Style image, "Merry Christmas" in whimsical hand-lettered peppermint-red script with snow-capped letters and tiny golden star sparkles.

Vertical, hand-drawn illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes, warm, expressive color palette (crimson reds, holly greens, buttery golds, blush pinks, frosty mint, midnight teal). A snowy, starry night scene: a grand, glowing Christmas tree stands center, dressed in twinkling fairy lights and candy-cane garlands, a soft golden star atop. Santa, rosy-cheeked and jolly, guides a sleigh in a gentle arc around the tree, pulled by a trio of cute, wide-eyed reindeer in little scarves; one with a glowing red nose. Their hooves flick up glittering snow-swirls that spiral playfully around the composition. At the base of the tree, a cozy drift of snow cradles a pile of wrapped gifts with shiny ribbons and patterned paper; a tiny lantern casts a warm glow.

Background: soft-focus pine forest and a couple of cozy cottages with warm window light; the sky dotted with oversized, soft snowflakes and a faint aurora-like wash. Composition is balanced: the tree central, sleigh and reindeer arcing through the upper right, gifts and lantern anchoring the lower left, garlands and reins creating circular leading lines. Cute mood throughout: rounded shapes, rosy cheeks, big friendly eyes, gentle sparkle.

Style notes: warm sepia pen outlines; watercolor-gouache washes on visible cold-press paper grain; subtle cross-hatching and stippling for depth; soft vignette; warm lights contrasting cool moonlit snow.

Small cheeky caption: on a tiny wooden gift tag near the presents, hand-lettered “Snow much joy!”
