When does everyone take their holiday dolls down? Personally I take mine down in March as they all fit winter as well. With the exception of 2007 Holiday Barbie she comes down with the decorations as she's a bit too "Christmas" to leave up #dollsky

Sharing this before Christmas gets too far from us now 😆 I got obsessed with collecting Peach Riot figures over the summer, and the newest Holiday Mixtape line looked so cute I had to draw them! ❄️

These wheat structures aren’t decorations. They’re didukhs—the spirits of ancestors invited home for Christmas.

Older than the holiday itself, they appear for the winter holiday season and disappear by Epiphany day 🇺🇦

A photo of the Monroe St Bridge from below. Stone arches, metal beams, and column like cuts in the concrete make up the bridges structure. Near to the camera is a small hill covered in winter withered brush. Just in the background a sliver of the Spokane River can be seen, hinting at the ferocity of the water the day.

Epiphany is also the day for La Befana! The latest in my slightly sinister winter holiday folklore collection: the Italian Christmas witch. La Befana is a witch of Italian folklore who brings sweets & gifts to good children & coal or cinders to bad children on Epiphany Eve. She flies on her broom &

My 8” x 8” linocut print with 4.5” x 6” printed area in dark blue ink shows La Befana, a crone or which standing on an tiled Italian rooftop by a chimney, carrying a large hamper of toys on her back. She’s wearing a dress with patched apron and patchwork shawl and pointed witch hat. She has scraggly hair, wrinkled face and large eyes that look directly at the viewer. The night sky behind includes stars and crescent moon.

The MAGA morons might want to know that christmas trees are secular symbols in the U.S., recognized by courts as associated with the general winter holiday season rather than a specific religion.

Love a good mouse display. This was the holiday one for a boutique home goods store near my job.

A 4 level doll house in a window display decorated for Christmas. The winter scene includes snow and decorations. The doll house is populated with a large mouse family.

I finally finished this drawing that was meant for Christmas to be honest, but I couldn't finish on time because I was busy during holidays and also got really sick that fortunaly I got over it.

Anyway all the pokèmon gathered around at the office near the Christmas Tree on the roof to celebrate the Holidays. To savior the moment Grilly brought his camera to make a selfie, of course the lake sisters are distracted to the Christmas tree. In the end all the pokèmon wish you all a happy holiday and a Happy New Year.

Hope you like it.

Been developing some rolls of film from the last few months.
Here are some photos I took during the Christmas Holiday at St. Marienthal Abbey.
A nice winter day with the sun already low at 3 pm.

A low winter sun breaks over the tree tops, with the abbey down low in shade already. A dusting of snow lingers on the roof tiles of various old buildings.

A tower of the abbey photographed from below, with a bit of sunlight hitting the very top with the golden cross from the side. Close to it, the waxing moon is visible in the sky already.

A nun came out of one of the buildings, remarked the cold temperatures outside and hurried back towards a warmer place.

Thank you, to everyone who dropped by and shared in our Holiday Fun, at the #Stellarton Library over the holidays! 💗 .. and there's some great holiday gift giving ideas, shared on our Star Tree! 😊

a young girl is seated at a table, she is smiling, and wearing a lilac colored sweatshirt. There are bookshelves behind her, filled with books, and on the table in front of her is a box of crayons, a flower pot of colored pencils and scissors, and white paper cut out in the shape of a round Christmas tree ornament, and blue paper stars.

A young person wearing a grey toque (with London on it) and a a light turquoise puffy winter jacket is holding up a reindeer crafted brown paper bag, a handmade white paper ornament (decorated), and a little colored paper of a wrapped present box. Behind them are library bookshelves, filled with books. They are smiling!

Holiday season's already over, but Noma decided it'd be hilarious to just dye her Christmas outfit green instead of switching to normal winter clothes 🤔

Well, can't blame that cretin. It's still cold season after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The snowman’s glow is soft and kind
A spark to soothe a weary mind
He stands as if to simply say
There is still magic in each day

Snow blankets the yard as warm lights, a glowing wreath, and cheerful figures bring holiday magic to this cozy home.

#photography

A cozy suburban home is illuminated with festive Christmas decorations on a snowy winter night. The roofline and porch are outlined with warm white string lights, casting a gentle glow against the dark sky. A circular wreath adorned with lights hangs prominently on the front of the house, centered above the entrance. Near the front door, a cheerful lighted snowman figure stands upright, adding a playful touch to the scene. On the snow-covered lawn to the right, illuminated figures of Santa Claus and two reindeer are arranged in a welcoming display. Santa appears to be waving or gesturing, while the reindeer are poised as if ready to pull a sleigh. The snow on the ground reflects the lights, enhancing the magical atmosphere. The overall composition evokes warmth, celebration, and the quiet charm of a neighborhood embracing the holiday spirit.

Happy New Year! May it bring you happiness, success, and joy! #WhiskersWednesday 🐈‍⬛🐾🎄

This photograph captures a cozy winter evening filled with holiday magic. A black-and-white cat gazes curiously into the lens, his bright yellow eyes sparkling in the dim light of the room. He sits on a soft sofa next to a festively decorated Christmas tree, the branches twinkling with colorful baubles and lights. The warm glow of the garland and textured wallpaper creates an atmosphere of warmth and anticipation of a miracle. It's a wonderful moment of peace and New Year's spirit, where a furry friend becomes part of the holiday decor.
