In a quaint, bustling kitchen bathed in the warm glow of an old-fashioned ceiling lamp, we find a delightful New Year's Eve scene. The kitchen is a cozy hive of activity, reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting but with the whimsical twist of Beatrix Potter. The walls are a soft pastel green, adorned with vintage floral wallpaper peeking through here and there. The wooden table, slightly scuffed from years of use, is laden with an array of homemade dishes that look as if they've jumped straight from a Maxfield Parrish illustration. There are steaming bowls of hearty stew, loaves of crusty bread, and a decadent chocolate cake that appears to have been baked with pure magic, its surface shimmering like an Arthur Rackham forest.

In the foreground, a large bay window reveals a stunning night sky illuminated by shimmering fireworks. These explosions of color and light cleverly spell out "Happy New Year Ming!" in bold, flamboyant letters, a nod to the sweeping style of Aubrey Beardsley. The letters arc across the sky, sparkling in hues of gold and silver, as if they were plucked from a Gustave Doré celestial dreamscape.

Adding a touch of Maurice Sendak mischief, a small group of anthropomorphic mice can be seen in the corner of the room. They are dressed in tiny festive outfits, engaging in a playful dance around a platter of cheese. These charming mice have thoughtfully spelled out "Ming" on the cheese platter using rosemary sprigs, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene.

Flanking the table, delicate vases are brimming with fresh flowers, their vibrant colors bringing a sense of life and celebration. These bouquets, inspired by the delicate intricacies of Quentin Blake’s illustrations, consist of an eclectic mix of daisies, peonies, and sunflowers, each flower seemingly smiling in anticipation of the New Year.

In this rich tapestry of warmth, joy, and creativity, the presence of Ming is interwoven throughout, making it a New Year's greeting card that's not just seen, but experienced.
