Large evocative central scene fills the lower three quarters; generous clear area at the top for an elegant readable hand-lettered title. Scene: Dad sneaks a small repaired wooden toy train behind his back while adult daughter Sam peeks around the cozy kitchen doorway, amused and curious. A tiny trail of gold ribbon leads toward the tree; holiday family adventure grounded in their familiar home, no superheroes or costumes.\nText (verbatim): \"Dad's Secret Christmas Mission\".
