Victorian era Norwegian Christmas card

Description

I needed a Christmas card for the Arendelle Citizen Maker, and it seemed a bit lazy to just grab an existing 1800's one from Wikipedia, plus the thin lines in the real ones would be hard to see since this card is going to be tiny anyways. I deliberately made the lines much thicker than would've been conventional to make it easier to see the drawing. since this card is going to be tiny enough to fit in the hand of the character in the game, I figured I might as well upload the full size image here. Feel free to use it as a Christmas card if you want, by the way, I don't mind.
And yes, these are nisser. They're very prominently featured on Scandinavian Christmas cards.

Also, for any Norwegians who might be wondering about the spelling. Frozen is supposed to be set in the 1840's, which was obviously back when Norwegian still used Danish spelling. I've also never found any 1800's Norwegian Christmas cards that say "God Jul" like the modern ones say, they always say "Glædelig Jul", so that's what I went with.
