Christmas in the Eggplant Hills is a 1989 Christmas card designed by
Edward Gorey. Three rabbits dressed in plaid decorate a spooky scarecrow and an anthropomorphic root vegetable with Christmas tree ornaments. Any questions?
An example of this card signed by Mr. Gorey was sold last week on eBay for $53. The seller correctly points out that an unsigned card is currently available (on Amazon) for $275.
