It was way harder than one would imagine to come up with Another Original by Tamara Christmas Card design. It made me reflect upon those dreaded assignments from my art classes of Yesteryear and ones that I did not "get" at the time. You remember them. Drawings that were allowed to focus on texture only or on shading only or on one subject only. Boring, boring, boring. We drew shoes falling out of the sky or shoes floating down a river and well, you kinda get the idea. None of it made sense to me at the time. That must have been the beginning of learning how to view the world just a bit differently than everyone else. 
Now that I was feeling like I wanted to do a little Christmas Card watercolor painting but was up against that December 25 deadline, I wondered how to keep it fun and stress free. So, I rounded up the usual list of suspects. You know the line up well. . . Frosty, Prancer, Santa, Tannenbaum, etc. Next year, I'll work on something a little more original but for this year, yes, I think I finished just under the wire and it shall do. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and Happy Kwanza!
