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

I loved Christmas growing up - as a matter of fact, I still love this Holiday now - guess I'm still a little kid at heart. Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy & Healthy Holiday season. Peace always, John

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
