The Spirit of Christmas is everywhere. But we have to look for it. I think most people don't see it at all. But for the very young--or young at heart--they can find it.

I drew this in three parts--the buildings were one part, Santa, the boy, and his mom were another, and the crowd, another. I combined them using Photoshop. I find that's easier when the backgrounds are complex.

This was the picture I put on my Christmas cards last year.
