Advent Calendar Day 7

This morning's lovely gift to you comes from talented artist Catherine Dair, who did the illustrations for the Adrien English CYOA book.

This is a lovely little glimpse into A Case of Christmas.

  1. I loved this one. So short but so deeply moving.... I've got to re-read it right now (*off to grab my kindle*)

  2. I love a good Lanyon quote, and this is a very good one. "It's not a perfect world." "No. And it doesn't have to be, because a lot of things work out fine anyway."

    Amen.

    Lovely graphics, for a lovely quote. :)

  3. I love the story! It's like a screwball comedy with enough normal, serious undertones, that it sounds true and resonate with me.

    1. It is very nutty, but emotional -- which is always what I'm after with Christmas stories. There's just something funny and crazy about the season, but also deeply emotional.

  4. Catherine is SO talented. And I love that she chose this particular story and that particular symbol.

  5. This is lovely, Catherine. And I'm so looking forward to re-listen A Case of Christmas during the Holidays. That, AND The Dickens with Love. AND Baby, it's Cold. AND all the Christmas Codas AND...well, you got the picture. :-D

  6. This was such a cute, quirky story with some lovely, touching moments especially this quote. :) I don't know why, but Linus's name always made me giggle too. I think I was expecting something more "masculine" and just kept picturing Linus from Peanuts instead. lol Will definitely be re-reading/listening to this one before Christmas.
