Art Notes

The sun has set on this snowy Christmas Eve. The family has settled in after a long day of sledding and preparing for Santa’s arrival this night. The first to spot Santa on his Midnight Delivery run are the family of snow people watching over the home. Santa and his sleigh have landed stealthily on the roof so that he can deliver the presents and be on his way to the next home.

Midnight Delivery by Thomas Kinkade Studios celebrates the magic of Christmas Eve, a night of wonder and excitement for children around the world, who wait in anticipation for Santa’s arrival at their home and the delightful gifts he will leave under their tree.
