Virginia's Christmas Cards
|
||
Each year, a few lucky people (sometimes upwards of a hundred) would receive one of Virginia's Legendary Handpainted Christmas Cards. Each was slightly different, each was a gift from someone who really couldn't spare a moment. Books and articles awaited, her family waited, book tours and speaking engagements waited - while Virginia made art for Christmas! |

 For you - We wish you peace, As peace comes with the snow. We wish you strength As strength is given to arctic flowers. We wish you joy, - The joy of hearing, once again, The music of a winter wren. 1964 |
 How shall I wish you strength? A trees says "strength" so silently. How shall I wish you joy? A birds sings joy and needs no words. How shall I wish you peace, When snow breathes peace so perfectly? Yet these are the gifts I wish to you At Christmas time. And in the year to come. (date unknown) |

 The sky and trees and flakes of snow Performed a necromoney show When Nature, in a single night, Laid out a world of shining white, And everyone woke up to see The miracle of snow and tree. Let micacles we may not see - Of peach and Strength and Charity - Illunine you on Christmas Day And cast their light along your way. 1962 |
