Here is one last vintage Christmas card church for the last Sunday in July.
The red border around this scene sets it off nicely, but I think I might have used a metallic gold. The white church with its green doors stands sturdy and tall at sunset on a winter afternoon. In December the sun sets around 4:30 here in New England, and I love the moody winter look of this scene as it is so true to my own experience. The church is lighted in anticipation of folks who will enter.
Already a group is singing carols around the outdoor Christmas tree. Others are on the way in a sleigh or on foot. I imagine that more will join them and that then all of the congregants will go in for cookies and hot cocoa -- or maybe even a potluck supper.
I love this nostalgic image and hope that my readers will too.
