I thought I would do something fun for the month of April. The creative juices are flowing and I am working on twenty new patterns to add to our line of designs. I will be launching them all this month. Five patterns a week from Monday to Friday, starting today and winding down on Friday 28th. Some are smaller, some larger and all else in between. There are a few new Christmas designs, a bit of whimsy, a geometric, an interesting contemporary choice, etc. Let’s see what I can pull out of my hat.
DESIGN #12 – Santa’s Wish; Christmas Snow
This cutey depicts what everyone wants for Christmas, snow. Young or old we want it white during the holidays. Years ago, it was pretty much guaranteed, and those toboggans, sleds and ice skates Santa brought got a lot of use that very day. Nowadays, its not a given, and it can be more brown than white and because of it, I’m not sure if sleds and skates are still top priorities as gifts under the tree.
As a child I had a lot of questions. How did Santa visit us when we didn’t have a fireplace with the customary chimney entrance, but apparently he had a magic key to unlock the front door, not a grand entrance but he got the job done. If it hadn’t snowed I kept an eye on the weather until bedtime, waiting for the snow to come fearful that Santa was not going to arrive in his sleigh with his eight tiny reindeer. Dad would make up a tale of horses and wagons, planes, trains and automobiles, whatever was necessary to reward all the good little girls and boys. Much to my delight, the old fella came no matter what and never disappointed. Truthfully, as a child in the 50’s and #60’s I don’t recall many Christmases that weren’t white, in December there would have been at least an older storm with snow still lingering. I remember those snowstorms of the past, snow ploughed almost up to the top of telephone poles, banks so high houses were lost from sight. We used to tunnel and make forts that we could stand up in, not that I was that tall back then but still, pretty impressive. We played outside until our mittens were soaked and our fingers were numb, we had red cheeks and nose candles. Those were the days.
Santa always preferred the reindeer and sleigh of course, he could land on roof tops and slip down the chimneys. He only ran into trouble if there wasn’t a chimney and had to land in the driveway. I don’t think anyone wanted snow on Christmas Eve more than Santa, I would imagine the view from his sleigh with the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below. How brilliantly super.
