Even if our family circle is small, the Christmas season can become a benchmark of friendship, a time when we pause to savor traditions of comfort and joy. "I find the setting of A Holiday Gathering exquisitely comfortable. Nestled beneath wintry trees and the luminous sky, the rambling village homes gleam with a warm, welcoming light that spills into the street, inviting one and all to join in the gathering. "Celebrants gather in quiet groups on porches to visit, gossip, perhaps sing a round of favorite Christmas carols. Vintage cars, Christmas lights, and even a dog or two complete the nostalgic scene. It's what I've come to think of as a "Norman Rockwell Christmas" — warm, welcoming, traditional." -- Thomas Kinkade
