Victorian Christmas Greeting Card: Woman with Holly Wreath in Snow

A woman has ventured alone into a snow-covered forest clutching an enormous holly wreath, and nothing about her situation reads as voluntary festive holiday cheer. The snow-weighted branches drooping overhead and the leafless trees receding into a bruised pink sky give this card the unmistakable vibe of someone who has just made a very irreversible decision in the woods. Her white fur collar is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the 'I'm fine, everything's fine' department, but the footprints in the snow behind her raise questions that 'Merry Christmas' in jaunty red cursive absolutely refuses to answer.
