Description
Nativity figures from their box are retrieved,
Near a crackling fire on a Christmas Eve.
Each is unwrapped with excited haste,
Then slowly, carefully, thoughtfully placed.
The scene comes to life when viewed by a child,
The babe seems to stir, and the mother just smiled.
Safeguarded here and kept far from danger,
The baby is kissed and laid in a manger.
This night is for children,
and their spirits can lift us,
They are the magic, the guardians,
the "Angels of Christmas".

Everything is simply wonderful for this humbled viewer. If you would consider placing your art into one of my novels, please correspond. I can imagine working up achildren's story around your existing art.

The scenery of this painting is very warm and simplicity of of children have the relationship of the Nativity of our Lord.
