Photorealistic image of Santa Claus holding an open book displaying "Nice List" on the left page and "Naughty List" on the right.

A hyper-realistic, cinematic image where the open book is the primary focus, large and centered in the frame, occupying most of the image. Santa Claus stands behind it, slightly out of focus, visible only from the chest up. He is an elderly man with a full white beard, wearing a classic red velvet Santa suit with white fur trim. Santa is holding the book from the top edge with both hands, letting it hang naturally. The book is a large, leather-bound volume with thick pages, sharply in focus. It has exactly two visible pages: – The left page is titled “Nice List” – The right page is titled “Naughty List” Each title appears once only, centered at the top of its page in clean, elegant calligraphy. No duplicated words, no extra text. Beneath each title is ample blank white space, with no names, no markings, and no decorations. The parchment pages are bright, lightly aged, high contrast, and perfectly legible. Lighting is soft and golden, directed to highlight the book and Santa’s hands. The background is a heavily blurred Christmas workshop with warm bokeh lights, ensuring the book remains the clear focal point.
