My inspiration: For me the magic of Christmas is in how it all began with the birth of Christ. I am always awed at this time of year. While listening to The First Noel and Silent night I begin to think about how centurys later the celebration of this single birth still somehow magically brings people together, lifts spirits and opens hearts. Yes, in my eyes that is the magic of Christmas. The image took me about three and a half hours and was done completely in Photoshop
