This card is one of my favorites. I received it from my very dear friend, Millie, from St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The artist is Anne Miller.
Why? Maybe because it reminds me of the years that I lived in St. Croix and the simplicity of life it portrays. Children seem to be happy with so little. And also to me it reflects the real reason behind the holidays. It is all about the relationships among ourselves and the joy of visiting with each other, either via email, mail, telephone…and now…Facebook. It is all about all of us and how we interact with each other. The stuff…is just that…stuff.
I love the little house and the joy on people’s faces.
Another magical moment towards the countdown for Christmas…at least for me.
