Christmas Card 2024

This year's Christmas card is a Nativity scene from my 2022 Advent calendar.  It's computer-printed with a white border on Neenah solar white card stock. 

Since 2010, I've used one of my annual Nativity drawings for the card fronts.  The greeting inside is "Wishing you peace and joy at Christmas."  To see past years' Christmas cards that I've drawn, click here, then scroll down.
