Remembering Christmas with Christmas Cards.

Remembering Christmas with Christmas Cards.

The card shows an English village scene around a country market at Christmas. This card was a painting by Susan Ridyard and sold as a fund raiser for the British Heart Foundation.

One of the most interesting themes you get on Christmas cards are various scenes showing places of interest , or famous places or just places that are artistic or even just “ Chrismassy”

I especially like ones that are sent to us from Canada and England because we spent many Christmases in both countries and the cards often bring back memories of Christmases past.

I picked these two out from my collection as they have a similar style.

I like these kind on interest/story paintings. They have lots of activity and people in them but above all they bring to mind happy times.

This one shows a typical town area in the evening with the local kids playing ice hockey. When we lived in Montreal , I can't ever remember not having snow at Christmas time. The card is a painting by Nicole Laporte and was sold on behalf of UNICEF.
