Christmas is my second favorite holiday of the year, and each year I like to surf the web and pick five or ten christmas illustrations, depending on how busy I am, to enjoy during the season and to learn from them and their authors.

Here are, in no particular order, the five I picked this year, hope you enjoy them as much as I do:

1.“Christmas snow globe” by Scott Wilson

2. “Santa on the phone” by Ronald Searle

3. “Winter walk” by Steve Mack

4. These variations of Santa by Lauren Minco Lowen.

5. A grumpy Santa by Linzie Hunter.
