In a snow-blanketed landscape that looks whimsically endless, akin to Winsor McCay's dreamy style, a bustling Christmas Lacrosse match is underway. At the center of this playful chaos, Santa Claus is moonlighting as the lacrosse referee, his belly wobbling with each dramatic whistle blow. Santa, channeling the eccentricity of Gary Larson’s illustrations, sports a black-and-white striped referee shirt draped over his classic red suit, complete with fluffy white trim. On his head, instead of a traditional hat, sits a candy-cane-striped cap with a whimsical pom-pom, emphasizing his dual role.

To the left, two reindeer in lacrosse gear—each with little helmets precariously perched between their antlers—are tangled in a snowball scrum, mistaking the white spheres for lacrosse balls. On the right, a penguin dressed as an elf attempts to coach the reindeer, holding up a sign that reads "Play Fair or It's Coal for You!" in a font reminiscent of Bill Watterson’s playful scrawls. Above, a banner flutters between two candy cane goalposts, declaring the "North Pole Winter Classic" in bold, jolly letters.

In the background, Charles Schulz-like Peanuts-styled children in oversized mittens and scarves cheer animatedly, their expressions a mix of awe and confusion as they witness the unusual game. Snowflakes fall like soft feathers, and Osamu Tezuka-inspired robots on the sidelines, complete with blinking lights and holiday decals, act as the quirky scoreboard keepers, their screens flickering festive animations.

The snowy field is bordered with twinkling fairy lights, and to the side, a hot cocoa stand run by a small, cartoonish Yeti—a nod to the imaginative whimsy of Hergé’s characters—offers steaming mugs to chilly spectators. This lively, chaotic Christmas scene blends holiday cheer with unexpected twists, creating a delightful, laughter-filled moment perfect for a Christmas greeting card.
