Bing Crosby | The Littlest Angel | Video
I could listen to Bing Crosby all day long and some days I do! I got two of his Christmas CDs from the library and I've just about worn them out. I especially love The Littlest Angel and hope you do too.

Even Rudolph Has Gone Green
This is the front of a Christmas Card I designed and sent two years ago. People loved it. Even Rudolph has decided to go green. Have you? The reindeer is an early engraved armorial crest. See the inside message here.

R. O. Blechman has a website.
I was so excited when I found this website. Lots of you sent me notes about how much you enjoyed the CBS 1966 Video Christmas message featured earlier this week. Well, you'll be happy to know that the artist R. O. Blechman has a website full of his illustrations, magazine covers, animation, and book covers. I know you'll love exploring here. Have fun! I love finding these places for you. He looks like a really nice guy too, don't you think? Rosemary

Lessons I Learned From Santa
All I Need To Know I Learned From Santa
1. Encourage people to believe in you.
2. Always remember who's naughty and who's nice.
3. Don't pout.
4. It's as much fun to give as it is to receive.
5. Some days it's ok to feel a little chubby.
6. Make your presents known.
7. Always ask for a little bit more than what you really want.
8. Bright red can make anyone look good.
9. Wear a wide belt and no-one will notice how many pounds you've gained.
10. If you only show up once a year, everyone will think you're very important.
11. Whenever you're at a loss for words, say "HO, HO, HO!"
I copied this from a Christmas card I got one year. I always save the good ones. I also recycle the fronts of old ones as gift tags. For the past couple of years I haven't gotten as many cards as usual. Lots of my friends send them online which is fine too given the price of postage and the lines at the post office. I have a PO box and when I went to pick up my mail today the line was out the door.

Antique Dog Painting of Mine
Network TV Christmas Message circa 1966 [Video]
A nostalgic one minute holiday card from CBS (back in the day when a network would do such a thing without a second thought). Designed by R.O. Blechman, animated by Willis Pyle. Music arranged by Arnie Black. Air date: December 1966. It's very sweet.
