Agree with John. It is delightful. I love everything about it. The framing and panoramic view, the lights of the buildings and the twinkle of the stars. The moon makes for that special touch. Then you top it off with Santa and his reindeer. Precious, fun, and done expertly my friend. #10924820

Mitch Spence level-classic December 18, 2013

Magic was just the word I thought of. How lucky you were to see Santa and the reindeer. Only special people ever get to see such a sight. #10924900

Very well done, Michelle!

Yes, those were the artichokes that you can eat the hearts of, but you have to eat them before they open, as they become very tough. I wanted to see the flowers though, so didn't eat any. #10925103

HAHAHA!
Well, I'm not surprised. After all - it IS Chrismas time. Time for magic and time for all your dreams come true...
But whover sent the snow, moon, and sled, they're part of a magical and beautiful Christmas image, Michelle. #10925146
