Victorian Christmas Children Greeting Card with Mistletoe

The boy, apparently stunned into silence, stands with his fist pressed to his mouth, completely at a loss for words at the sight of the little girl in pale blue stationed directly beneath the mistletoe. She, meanwhile, is resolutely refusing to acknowledge his existence, hands clasped and eyes cast downward, emanating the energy of someone who has already consulted her lawyer. The decorated Christmas tree looms cheerfully behind them, completely unbothered by the romantic standoff it has been recruited to backdrop, while the mistletoe above her head does all the narrative heavy lifting this card is clearly counting on.
