Victorian Christmas Santa Greeting Card with Holly and Winter Landscape

What you might not notice immediately is that pipe clenched between Santa's teeth as he bursts through that giant die-cut diamond shape — one hand brandishing what appears to be a tiny pair of scissors or spectacles aloft like a trophy — revealing his commitment to the unconventional holiday delivery method. He's gripping a striped stocking in his other hand while a ribbon cheerfully announces 'Brother's Delight,' which, combined with his slightly manic blue-eyed gaze, raises more questions than it answers. The embossed silver bells in the upper right corner and the tasteful snowy village scene to his left are doing their absolute best to class up a composition that is fundamentally a man bursting through a hole, pipe first, to deliver hosiery to your brother.
