What is your favorite image of Christmas or winter?
I have many, I love old world santas and snowmen, but I think what comes to mind that I associate the most with the holidays are all the pretty lights.
I have very bad eyesight, so when I take my glasses off all I can see are colors and sometimes shapes, depends on how big the object I'm looking at is.
Every since I was a kid, I love to turn off the lights in the house, plug in the tree and just gaze at it with my glasses off. Just so pretty that way, a blur of color! ;D
Yeah I'm goofy I know! LOL
So what is your favorite image?

I'm with you Deed, I love the Old world santas, snowmen, Angels, and lights. But I think my favorite image of Christmas is a horse pulled carriage in the snow. I've always wanted to ride in a horse & carriage through the snow, but they just aren't available in the part of the state I am in.

My favorite image of Christmas is a simple Nativity scene. I prefer no animals, no wise men, no angels- just Mary, Joseph and Jesus.
Non religious image-- carolers singing around an open door, lots of smiling faces.
My favorite winter scene--- ice skaters on an outdoor pond, or children sledding downhill (duh- guess you can't sled uphill!)

just a plain ole' fashioned holiday. A lit fireplace, with my children in new plaid jammies all sitting around listening to their Daddy ready the story of Jesus birth and then the NIght Before Christmas to them. Then the clamour them opening their stockings..:-)
A fresh fallen snow...the twinkling of lights, and my snowman collection..ah yes!

Oh BR, how I miss tinsel! Haven't been able to put it on our tree in many many years now. Too dangerous with all my cats around. When we first moved here we immediately got a dog for protection for me. Yeah right, she would lick you to death!  Anyway, Peachie would lay under the tree and when she came out, she was almost always covered in tinsel, she looked so cute! ;D Then 3 years later I started collecting cats and had to put the tinsel away.

Tinsel, now that is a long ago memory. We use to put it on our trees when I was a youngster. My mother was very picky about how it went on. We want to just stand back and toss it on. LOL. Oh no no...mother put it on ever so lovingly, one strand at a time. When dh and I first married we also used tinsel. I haven't thought of or bought tinsel in years now. Thanks for the memory!
