+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "I'm inviting you to a Christmas party unlike any you've ever attended - because it takes place a hundred years ago! The festivities are in full swing as you arrive. Guests have tethered their horses, or handed them over to the groom who attends the carriage house. Irrepressible children slide furiously in sleds; young couples are busy populating the hillside with snowmen. And, above it all, the grand house is ablaze with holiday lights. In my paintings, I love turning back the clock to a simpler era. That's what my Victorian Christmas II is all about; it brings my favorite holiday and a glorious historical period alive on canvas." ~~Thomas Kinkade
