Santa Meets Alien Invaders – Galaxy Science Fiction December 1959

It's Christmas Eve and something has gone terribly wrong at the tree-trimming. Two wide-eyed green alien creatures in red bodysuits clamber toward a startled Santa Claus, who clutches a candy cane beside a decorated Christmas tree. The scene crackles with comic menace — are these extraterrestrials stealing Christmas or simply investigating this bizarre Earth custom? The warm holiday palette collides gloriously with classic Golden Age alien design: bulbous heads, stalked eyes, and spindly antennae.
