I like Christmas. I really do.

I love going out at night and driving around looking at lights, I lust after fruitcake, and I can’t watch It’s a Wonderful Life without sobbing like a baby.

So why is it that as I searched for Christmas imagery to illustrate the day, the only pieces of art which spoke to me show poor Santa either threatened …

… or dead?

I’m not entirely sure …

But don’t worry! Even though it looks like my head may be saying “Bah Humbug!”—my heart says “Merry Christmas!”
