In this delightful and humorous Christmas card scene, envision a snowy Dutch landscape bustling with quirky activity. In the foreground, a jovial Santa Claus is ice skating across a frozen canal, his red suit flapping behind him as he attempts a clumsy pirouette, a nod to the playful style of Charles Schulz's Peanuts. Behind Santa, a group of elves, dressed in colorful wooden clogs and traditional Dutch attire, are building an unconventional snowman made entirely of stroopwafels stacked precariously. Nearby, a windmill stands proudly, its sails decorated with twinkling Christmas lights, a homage to Hergé's meticulous detail in Tintin.

A mischievous reindeer, reminiscent of Calvin's antics from Calvin and Hobbes, is seen playfully tugging on Santa’s hat while standing next to a giant Delft blue tile, which reads, "Prettige kerst en een gelukkig nieuw jaar" in elegant script, almost as if a clever touch by Will Eisner. The phrase is flanked by cartoon-style clouds and snowflakes, a touch inspired by the surreal dreamscapes of Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland.

In the background, a row of charming, snow-laden Dutch houses line the canal, with their gabled roofs and brightly colored facades, adding to the festive cheer. Above, in the sky, a string of twinkling stars forms the outline of a grinning face, perhaps an ode to the whimsical world of Gary Larson’s The Far Side, adding a touch of cosmic humor to this merry scene. This card captures the essence of a quirky, Dutch-inspired Christmas, blending timeless charm with a playful twist.
