I didn’t buy many Christmas gifts this year. This image is an exaggeration!
I’m trying to focus more on those truly important things – the real gifts of the season.
When I started to add color to this image, I realized I hadn’t settled on what colors Finny and Wood should be! So I cheated and gave color only to the gifts. (That’s supposed to be a bow on the end of Finny’s tail, but it just reads as a blob).
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it!

As I get older, I am realizing that spending time with my loved ones, has become the best gift of all. Those special times leave me with special memories that I will hold dear in my heart forever. Merry Christmas Tim.
Hi Bonnie,
That’s a great thought. Merry Christmas to You!

Oh, as tradition would have it, I am still out there doing my last minute Christmas shopping! It’s all just a mad race to the finish line now, as I try to get everything else done today and tomorrow, but every bit of it’s worth it.. This is the happiest, “most wonderful” time of the year, I think!! (0; Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!! Enjoy!
Hi Tina, Try to have fun as you’re rushing around – best of luck finding those things you’re looking for! Merry Christmas!
Tim
Adorable. I love the care you give to your characters and if aren’t sure of color you wait. I love that you gave the presents colors. I am doing the same this year. Less gifts and more focus on the true gift. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hi Laurie, It’s the thought that counts. Merry Christmas to you and your family, too! Tim :0)
Many “gifts of the heart” in those packages!
Hi Fergie, Yes, that’s true! Merry Christmas!

Since we are speaking of gifts that matter, one of the real jewels this year has been the addition of your blog to my inbox. It is a blessing to begin each day on a high note. Thanks for brightening so many lives. Sending the best of this season to you and yours. xoxo
Hi Cheryl, That’s so sweet of you to say that! Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Hi Art, Merry Christmas to you and your family, too!

Used to have shopping done in June. But found it hard as I get older. TFS.
Hi Diana, I was always convinced the best time to do Christmas shopping is right after Christmas when everything goes on sale – lol! Wouldn’t it be great to be a year ahead and take advantage of all those deep discounts? I’ve never done it, but I always thought it would be a fun thing to try.
