The Christmas Cake - Battle of the Santas!

At last - here's what several fellow blippers have been waiting for - this year's Christmas cake! As has become a family tradition over many years, our Christmas cake is always decorated as a snow scene with a sledging or ski slope, and one or more of our visiting offspring undertakes the decoration. (Previous iterations can be seen (see here and here and here and here and here and here and here - sometimes in the extras). This year it was Son#2 and his partner who obliged.

The explanation this year is a little less convoluted than it usually is - it's a 5-Santa Duel (or should that be a "Quintuel"?!). As you can see, one of the Santas has got himself palatic (northern slang for "inebriated") and has collapsed on the ski slope - the others are still engaged in a fight to the death. I'm not sure what they're fighting over, although I see several swag bags lying around - maybe the Santas have been helping themselves to stolen property whilst delivering presents and they're fighting over the proceeds?

There are several spectators including 2 wizards, one in black at the back and the other climbing up the cake at the bottom right corner. And the robot always seems to manage to sneak in somewhere.

(It's a semi-aerial view in order to show as many of the characters as possible.)
