Christmas Windows - Christmas City

Christmas, besides celebrating Christ's birthday, is all about children. Christmas Windows is 
for the kids.

                                      I

Windows smile on Christmas City
Gloom's asleep 'neath a blanket of snow
Streets so alive with jingle tunes
Humbug has nowhere to go

Kristin Reynolds Date: 12/6/2008 5:36:00 AM what a beautiful, and picturesque window glass you paint here, yes, it is about the birth of Christ, and children - to be as children, so this is perfect, as they can feel the spirit, void of humbug. Merry Christmas, Daver! Love, Kristin Login to Reply
