Atmospherically this is certainly Christmassy.
It might look good on the card but Christmas wasn't in Van Gogh's mind when he painted this night scene of the River Rhone in September 1888. He was fascinated by the colours of night and the challenge of painting them.
To fit the painting on the card, a devastating transaction has happened however. Here is the original painting:
Leaving aside the colour differences we can see that the original has Ursa Major (the Great Bear) constellation with great prominence. Van Gogh's intention was to make the stars the star over against the gas lighting. Instead, the card has left in the lovers at the expense of the stars.
Every Christmas we are prone to cut out a little or a lot of heavenly glory to keep humans in the centre of the picture.
