A cosy winter scene; the blue sky is bright with flakes of snow, a row of houses are in the distance with snow on their roofs and warm light coming from lit interiors. In the foreground to the right, on a snow-laden branch sits a magpie, holding a cracked red Christmas bauble. The magpie is prominent, it takes up a lot of the space in the image. The title in bold read takes centre place at the top of the image, just above the magpie's head. The author's name , is in a slightly darker red is placed at the centre bottom, beside the magpie's tail. Only the cracked bauble indicates that something bad may be about to happen.
