In this delightfully whimsical Christmas card cover, we find ourselves in a bustling North Pole village scene, reminiscent of a snowy, cheerful setting one might find in a classic Peanuts strip with a twist of Calvin and Hobbes' playful absurdity. In the center, there stands a jovial, round-bellied Santa Claus who is trying to take a "selfie" with a group of mischievous elves, each posing with exaggerated, goofy expressions inspired by the humor of The Far Side.

To the right, there's a small reindeer, styled with an Astro Boy flair, playfully trying on Santa's oversized boots, its antlers humorously wrapped in twinkling Christmas lights that blink sporadically. Above, a bright blue sky is speckled with fluffy cartoon clouds, and within them, the name "Ehud" is cleverly formed by twinkling stars and wispy clouds, reminiscent of the imaginative visuals found in Little Nemo in Slumberland.

A vibrant, colorful banner stretches across the top of Santa's workshop in the background, adorned with candy canes and holly, adding a Disney-esque element. The banner reads "Happy Holidays" in a bold, cheerful font. Snowflakes fall lightly across the scene, each one detailed and unique, like an R. Crumb creation, as they softly blanket the rooftops and the ground. An old-fashioned, slightly wonky lamppost with a warm, glowing light stands to the left, its post humorously bent in a cartoonish fashion, providing a nod to the dynamic perspectives used by Will Eisner.

Finally, in a subtle, Spiegelman-like twist, a tiny mouse wearing a Santa hat peeks out from a snowbank near Santa's feet, holding a small scroll labeled "Ehud's Naughty or Nice List," as it peers at the viewer with a conspiratorial wink. This intricate scene perfectly combines humor and holiday cheer, inviting Ehud to join in the festive antics.
