🎄20 Days Of Christmas
💥Following the (Romanian) chaos of the last two weeks, when I was somewhat on the brink of a heart attack, I can now finally concentrate on the most beautiful days of winter.
💥I am going to start publishing the most beautiful Christmas paintings today.
🎄Christmas is the time of enlightenment, inner warmth, and profound joy, and I particularly liked what T.S. Eliot said in “The Cultivation of Christmas Trees”.
⚡️“Christmas in Romania means drummers dressed up in bearskins to spook evil spirits and joyous children in colorful apparel chanting at doorways: ‘Do you welcome the Christmas Eve’s carolers?’” – Iulia Halatz

Christmas is the time of enlightenment, inner warmth, and profound joy, and I particularly liked what T.S. Eliot said in “The Cultivation of Christmas Trees”.
The child wonders at the Christmas Tree:
Let him continue in the spirit of wonder
At the Feast as an event not accepted as a pretext;
So that the glittering rapture, the amazement
Of the first-remembered Christmas Tree,
So that the surprises, delight in new possessions
(Each one with its peculiar and exciting smell),
The expectation of the goose or turkey
And the expected awe on its appearance,
Let’s start growing our Inventory of Light with the most beautiful Christmas paintings.
