Winter portrait

Dad and son in front of their house. The dad has a snow shovel. This was for Illustration Friday. This weeks word is “winter.”

When I heard this week’s theme, it reminded me of a Christmas Eve years ago when a snow storm was coming. My son and I spent the afternoon preparing for it. There wasn’t any snow until that day and we had to take care of some of the autumn maintenance that I kept putting off. I remember it as a fun afternoon where my son was talking about all the books and TV shows he loved. He would recite story lines from his favorite shows and books. It was a great time to be together.

May you have a blessed Christmas.

Letter to Santa

Cartoon of a boy and a letter carrier at the post office. The boy says, “It’s a letter to Santa. My hopes and fears of all the years are mailed with thee tonight.”

The other day, National Public Radio in the United States had a report on the tough economy and letters to Santa Claus. It broke my heart to hear how some families are struggling this year. I thought of the kids who were looking for hope for the new year.

It made me thing of the Christmas carol, “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” The last part of the first verse spoke to me.

I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “mail.”

Ho Ho the Mistletoe

Cartoon of a boy and girl under mistletoe. The boy says, “Eew! Get away from me! There is no way I’m getting mistletoed!”

This is a cartoon I did twelve years ago. At the time, my son was six years-old. The thought of mistletoe made his skin crawl. He would have nothing to do with it. Now that he’s eighteen, I need to ask him if his opinion has changed.

Phenome-Claus

Cartoon of  Santa Claus and a boy. The boy says, “You know something? You are quite the phenomenon.”

Guys in red suits are always a phenomenon this time of year. I marvel at all of Santa’s helpers. There are a lot of varieties and interpretations of the jolly, old elf.

I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “phenomenon.”
