+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "Christmas is the Season of Light, and the hue that permeates Memories of Christmas is the rosy glow of sunset. As you may know, I am partial to sunset; I believe that the drama and majesty of God's creation is palpable when the fire of a glorious sunset bathes the land. I painted Memories of Christmas at sunset for another reason as well — the nostalgic vision of life is often described as 'seeing the world through rose-colored glasses.' I don't mind admitting that the vision of community I want to express in Memories of Christmas is perhaps best viewed through such tinted lenses!" ~~Thomas Kinkade
