The Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
Clement Clarke Moore (1779 – 1863)
There’s that sleeping husband of yours again! I like it. Shows a lot of love. I’m not sure what the textures say but they’re nice touch as well. Like dreams going through his head.
The children were all nestled all snug in their beds,When Mom came in and wrote on their heads?Lovely processing. The sepia tones are great. It’s also just a very pretty photo to look at. Merry Christmas!
I see all these sleeping pictures have been leading us to this excellent Christmas image. He does look happy there sucking on his blankie. Is that writing part of his letter he sent to Santa. Merry Christmas!!
Nice portrait….very fitting words to accompany it. Merry Christmas.
For me, this is your finest processing to date. Absolutely perfect and fits the image wonderfully. A really superb image, that I feel should be framed and displayed.Have a wonderful Christmas full of love, happiness and peace
