Ultra‑high‑definition 4K photorealistic holiday photograph, funny mood. Eye‑level, full‑frame camera, 35mm lens, f/2.0, 1/160s, ISO 400, shallow depth of field with creamy bokeh.

Scene: A cozy, warmly lit living room at night. A glowing Christmas tree sparkles with multicolored glass ornaments, candy canes, and tinsel; stockings hang by a softly flickering fireplace; snow falls outside a frosted window. Subtle dust motes glint in the light.

Characters and action:

- The Grinch: tall, fuzzy green fur, mischievous “busted” expression, yellow‑green eyes. He’s mid‑tiptoe with a rumpled red Santa coat half on, Santa hat sliding off, tangled head‑to‑toe in a string of multicolored fairy lights. He’s clutching an overstuffed red sack that’s leaking presents and ornaments; a cookie crumb is stuck on his lip.

- Max the dog: scruffy brown, wearing a single small antler strapped on with a red ribbon, deadpan stare to camera. He sits beside a knocked‑over cookie plate, a half‑eaten cookie by his paw, tail accidentally wrapped in lights.

- Cindy‑Lou: tiny child with bright eyes and gravity‑defying pigtails tied with red bows, wearing pink footie pajamas. One hand holds a steaming mug of cocoa with marshmallows; the other points a candy cane like a traffic wand at the Grinch with a knowing, amused smile.

Composition: Triangular grouping—Cindy‑Lou foreground left, Max foreground right, the Grinch mid‑center slightly back. Rich, lifelike textures on fur, fabric, pine needles, and glass ornaments; subtle reflections in baubles. Accurate, cinematic lighting: warm amber from tree and fireplace, cool moonlight rim from the window; natural skin/fur tones, no harsh flash, gentle film grain.

On‑image text: small hand‑lettered white brush script at the bottom center (subtle drop shadow for legibility), reading: “Caught green‑handed.” Only this text; unobtrusive and not covering faces. No logos or watermarks. Photorealistic, real‑world palette, sharp yet cozy.
