Use the uploaded image as the base. Transform every person in the uploaded image into a cute cartoon character in a classic 1960s newspaper comic-strip style, with clean black outlines, soft pastel colors, simple comic-style facial features, and a cozy nostalgic newspaper-strip mood: a flat 2D cartoon like a hand-drawn animated holiday TV special from the 1960s: even black ink lines, flat solid colors with no shading, no gradients and no 3D, soft cartoon lines and a cozy retro Christmas mood. Keep each face highly recognizable, natural, and friendly. Draw exactly as many characters as there are people in the photo, in the same order from left to right, each about as tall as in the photo. Each character has a big round head, a simple cartoon face with two small black dot eyes, short-line eyebrows, a small nose, a small curved smile and small ears, a short body with short arms and legs, small rounded hands and simple shoes. Each one keeps everything that makes that one person recognizable: the exact hairstyle, hair length and hair color, any beard or moustache, glasses (as simple bold frames), earrings and freckles, any hat, the skin tone, gender and age, and the clothes with their colors and prints, all as flat cartoon shapes. Never blend two people, never swap hair, glasses or clothes between them, and never add or drop a person. If the photo also shows a pet, it becomes a flat cartoon animal with its own fur colors and markings, standing with them. If the photo shows only their upper bodies, add plain trousers and simple shoes that go with each outfit. Add no winter hats, scarves or gloves unless the photo shows them. They stand side by side on the snowy ground, full bodies from the tops of the heads to the shoes, facing the camera. On the right of the group stands a red wooden doghouse seen straight from the front, its red sloped roof with dark plank lines and a little snow on the edges, a green wreath with a red bow on the front of the roof, and on top of its roof, at the height of their heads, stands a small white cartoon beagle with long black ears, a round black nose and small black dot eyes, standing upright on its hind legs with a happy, proud face. Behind, in the same flat style: a snowy suburban yard, bare winter trees, a white picket fence, a small house with a snowy roof, a pale blue sky and soft falling snowflakes. At the top, in the sky: a hand-lettered holiday title in white rounded serif letters with a thin dark outline, on three centered lines: a small "A", then "Merry", then a larger "Christmas". It is the only text: spell it exactly, with no other words, signs, logos or watermark. Vertical 9:16. Original cartoons of these people, not existing cartoon characters. No zigzag stripe on any shirt and no single curl of hair on the forehead unless the photo shows one. No frame, no border, no caption. Every face is the simple flat comic-strip cartoon face described above, never a photo face: the identity rules below apply to each cartoon's hair, facial hair, glasses, skin tone, gender, age and clothes.
