On the front cover of our Christmas card, we find ourselves whisked away to a magical, snowy village reminiscent of Charles Schulz's cozy Peanuts towns but with a dash of Walt Disney's animated whimsy. The scene captures a joyful 70-year-old woman with a cascade of golden blonde curls peeking out from under her red Santa hat, which is topped with a fluffy white pom-pom. Her eyes twinkle with the spirited mischief of Calvin from Bill Watterson’s imagination. She's donned in a classic Santa suit—a bright red coat with white fur trimmings, matching pants, and shiny black boots.

Her sleigh, inspired by the sleek yet charming lines of a mid-century design, glides smoothly over a blanket of crisp, sparkling snow that could've come straight out of a Winsor McCay dreamscape. The sleigh itself is painted a deep, festive green, adorned with golden bells that jingle melodiously as it moves. A large sack filled to the brim with colorfully wrapped presents, their ribbons curled into perfect spirals, sits snugly at the back, hinting at the bountiful surprises of the holiday season.

Harnessed to this jolly sleigh are two white golden retrievers, their fur shining like fresh snow under the gentle illumination of a full moon that hangs like a friendly face in the clear night sky, akin to a scene from Hergé's adventurous Tintin panels. The dogs, with their happy-go-lucky expressions and tails wagging exuberantly, appear to have stepped out of a Gary Larson cartoon, capturing both the energy and delight of the moment.

In the background, tiny cottages with thatched roofs are nestled among snow-draped fir trees, each window aglow with the warm light of family gatherings, evoking the timeless storytelling of R. Crumb’s world. Strings of multicolored Christmas lights zigzag across the street, reflected in the icy sheen of the frozen pond nearby, reminiscent of Osamu Tezuka’s vivid settings. The card bursts with intricate details like Art Spiegelman’s detailed narratives, where each element tells a part of a whimsical holiday tale, ready to be unfolded by the beholder.
