While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
"fear not," said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
"glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind!"
"to you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior, who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign:
The Heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
And meanly wrapped in swathing bands
And in a manger laid"
Thus spoke the Seraph; and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song
"all glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace!
Good will henceforth from God to man:
Begin and never cease!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!"
- Luke 2:8-14
(And on the offchance anyone asks: my favorite version of this song differs slightly from the original lyrics, but I decided to paste the original lyrics here anyway, which is why they're slightly different o3o)

Finally getting around to printing an edition of these cute little blocks from Sena Jeter Naslund’s “When Children Ruled the World” book. I’m still really happy with these images and it’s such a sweet story. #LarkspurPress #illustration #christmasStory #woodblock #engraving #printmaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CjMMClrM2Fd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I decided to make a story about an Icelandic Sheepdog that may or may not be one of the Yule lads. I couldn't go over all the lines to make it look super digitally official but I think this rough draft still looks nice.

Anybody seen that recent sequel for this? Started this out as an appropriate and festive little doodle during Xmas eve, it got shelfed for a bit but now it's finally finished. It'll feel good to add this fun piece to my Etsy, because I don't have a ton of "family friendly"-ish stuff on it. I have a few super radical music projects (one is completely finished), and 2 other film pieces I'm working on. Cannot wait to share 'em soon. Hope everyone is doing excellent! 💙 "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out, Kid!" 9x11 🎅👅🎄🦵🧼🔫 #achristmasstory #christmasstory #art #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CnN7qIkMzNl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If I could get three ghosts to swing by on Christmas Eve and teach me what I've been doing wrong that would be great because I have LOTS of questions.

Here’s a artwork of Clara Stahlbaum from The Nutcracker and the four realms in 90s anime style. I got some inspired of 90s anime style from Sailor Moon, YouTube and @rossdraws . I want to try this and draw something new. Also I’m getting a hang of this and I did a great in that style.

Drop in on Main Street where children are restlessly waiting for a turn on Santa's lap. Click to read a heartwarming Christmas story.

It’s the first day of Yule. The Winter Solstice. It’s the longest night of the year, and I thought you might be looking for a little story to read by the fire. I was inspired to write this story following last year’s visit from Santa Claus, complete with parade and tree lighting.

Coal For Christmas
[Another year. Another Christmas. I republish this every holiday season with a tweak here and there. This story is true and I am passing it down to new readers and my two children and my grandson. Every story from our own lives or the lives of those we once loved…every story is worth telling. There should never be a ‘last story’. They should live forever.

Christmas 2023: The Chase is On
(Link to the beginning) PLEASE SHARE!
Rising over the top of Diamond Hill, Jebidiah and Levi had a view of the now sleeping town of Cumberland. With snow swirling and wind howling, a pre-Christmas blizzard was in full swing. The houses, trees, and roads hidden by the drifts gave the impression of a white blanket covering everything.
But Levi knew soon they would awaken to the reality of all the…
