What a lovely idea, Estelyn! I don't have a copy of the Christmas letters and haven't read them but I have admired Tolkien's drawings for them--even down to the stamps!

In fact last year I used one of the illustrations for my Christmas avatar, so this year it will be even more apt.

The roundness of Father Christmas' house makes me think of Scandinavian depictions of the figure--it isn't really an Inuit igloo!

Lal, it will be interesting to hear your tyke's thoughts on the letters and drawings!
