Christmas evokes some of the most vivid memories we have. Whether it's the new fallen snow, the smell of gingerbread cookies baking, or decorating the tree, it conjures up recollections of past celebrations. Thomas Kinkade is a well-known painter and author who spreads inspiration through art. Known as the "Painter of Light," Thomas generates joy and beauty in all his creations. A Christmas Celebration features uplifting passages from notables such as Helen Steiner Rice, Charles Dickens, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Thomas Kinkade's own musings. Each page is designed with an inspiring quote and painting to evoke the true celebration of Christmas. Copyright  2005 Thomas Kinkade, The Thomas Kinkade Company, Inc., Morgan Hill, CA
