A Christmas Song
Once in Royal David’s City
Stood a lonely cattle shed
Where a mother held her baby
You’d do well to remember the things he later said
When you’re stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties
You’ll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump
You’re missing the point I’m sure does not need making
That Christmas spirit is not what you drink
So how can you laugh when your own mother’s hungry
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures
Remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song
— Jethro Tull

Jane, You have created beautiful snow shadows and clearly shown the heaviness of the snow on the garlands. This is is a winner.
Have a great vacation and keep painting. Merry Christmas.

My daughter figured she would be leaving the snow there while she was home for holidays but it is showing as we speak! An unusual event for Victoria 😊
