On the front of this Christmas greetings card, we venture into a whimsical theatre stage setting reminiscent of a charming village square, draped in a soft blanket of freshly fallen snow. The stage is framed by grand velvet curtains in deep red, tied back with golden ropes that shimmer under the dimmed, ambient stage lights. In the center, an intricately detailed wooden backdrop depicts a quaint European village blanketed in snow, with smoke gently curling from chimneys and warm light glowing from frosted windows.

Front and center on the stage, we see a small troupe of anthropomorphic characters, inspired by the playfulness of Schulz’s Peanuts and the expressive detail of Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes. These characters are dressed in period costumes reminiscent of Dickensian times, complete with top hats, scarves, and mufflers. A portly, jovial bear with a bushy mustache is playing the role of a shopkeeper, holding up a small, ornately wrapped gift. Beside him, a slender fox wearing spectacles and a tweed coat is kneeling to present a wreath to a wide-eyed rabbit child, who is beaming with delight.

Hovering above the stage, amidst the twinkling stars and a crescent moon, the names "Paula ja Jussi" are cleverly integrated into the design. The names appear as if formed by a string of golden fairy lights, casting a gentle glow against the rich, indigo night sky. To the sides of the stage, festive garlands made of holly and pine branches, adorned with red ribbons and miniature baubles, frame the scene.

In the background, peeking out from behind the curtains, a band of merry little mice musicians are playing tiny instruments, with a trombone that looks almost as big as its player and a dainty violin. Their sheet music is humorously oversized, titled "A Carol for Paula ja Jussi," a nod to our recipients.

The edges of the card are designed to look like the pages of an old storybook, giving it a timeless, narrative quality that invites the recipients to step into the world of the scene. This card perfectly marries the magic of Christmas with the enchanting world of theatre, promising Paula ja Jussi a holiday full of wonder and stories.
