Pencil Christmas drawings

I found an old " ideals" magazine from the late forties. I loved looking at the old pencil drawing that were such works of art...today so much is photographs instead . What fun to turn each page and see the drawings of Santa, and other Christmas designs.... some I will share below with you. ...remember to click on picture for a larger view.

Here is a sweet picture of children who are watching it snow

Christmas carollers on the street.

And this is a great drawing of Santa but I miss the red of his suit on this one

Yesterday I forgot to mention that one of my favorite Christmas movies is



The Christmas Box
"Richard, Keri and six-year-old Jenna are a loving family helping to make ends meet by acting as caretakers in an apartment building as Richard starts his brand new business. Keri learns about another caretaking position in one of the grand old homes in town and persuades Richard to accompany her on the interview. Although stately homeowner Mary Parkin seems a bit aloof, she likes the young couple and offers them the position.

Keri, Jenna and Mary become good friends but Richard spends long hours hard at work and grows more distant. When he finds an exquisitely carved Christmas box tucked away in the attic, containing letters that reveal a surprising clue to Mary's past, a bond of affection finally develops between them. In the busy weeks before the holidays, Richard learns a valuable lesson from Mary - about the true meaning of Christmas and the special bond that a family shares."

Enjoy your Sunday..Be safe ...be warm...be at peace.
