There must be millions of variations of Christmas cards showing snow-dusted cottages/town houses being visited by Santa and his reindeer on Christmas Eve.
But what about all the brutalist confections? Does the man in red steer his sleigh clear of big blocks of textured concrete?
Apparently not, because Clock Tower Studios — aka Anne-Marie White — has just released a batch of brutalist cards, in which Father Christmas can be seen happily swooping over Centre Point, nipping into King's Cross's Landmark Hotel, and parking up outside the National Theatre.
"I've always loved the buildings," Anne-Marie tells Londonist "and for the Christmas cards I wanted to imagine Santa visiting them, which is why I've drawn him in the pill lift at the Standard Hotel, delivering presents on a Barbican tower building and climbing up the Post Office Tower."
We're not sure what Santa's got in his sack, but with any luck it's a lump of concrete.
Anne-Marie has also created a series of cards featuring brutalist Bradford at Christmas. Santa's levelled up, even if the Tories never did.
You can buy Brutal London Christmas cards from the Clock Tower Studios website.
