The front cover of the Christmas greeting card is a vibrant and bustling scene set in a quaint, snow-covered village square, a nod to a Norman Rockwell-inspired community gathering, but with a whimsical twist. In the center, there’s a grandiose and elaborately decorated Christmas tree, reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish’s vivid detail, with golden lights twinkling like stars and ornaments of various quirky shapes—like tiny teapots, shoes, and crescent moons—all artistically inspired by Beardsley’s intricate line work.

At the base of the tree stands a cheerful, plump Santa Claus, but this time, his iconic suit is adorned with playful patterns of fish and cats, a tribute to Sendak’s playful imagination. Santa is holding a lottery ticket aloft, announcing the lucky winner of a Christmas dinner in an animated manner that echoes Quentin Blake's lively characters. Around him, a motley crew of anthropomorphic animals—courtesy of Beatrix Potter's influence—celebrate wildly; a rabbit in a waistcoat hoists a fork and knife, a fox with a monocle elegantly sips eggnog, and a hedgehog, scarf trailing in the wind, balances a plate of mince pies.

In the background, a scene of diners can be seen through the frosted windows of the village inn, reveling in a festive feast that spills over with delectable foods—roast turkey, piles of mashed potatoes, and a glowing pudding—styled after the opulence seen in N.C. Wyeth’s illustrative feasts. Gustave Doré-inspired snowflakes, delicate and lace-like, fall gently across the scene, adding a touch of elegant whimsy. Overhead, a full moon casts a gentle light, with Rackham-esque wisps of clouds framing it like a theatrical curtain. The card bursts with intricate details, each element telling part of a larger story of festive joy and unexpected fortune.
