2008
There’s a room out there somewhere with a woman in a chair
With memories of childhood still lingering there
How pretty the paper, the lights and the snow
How precious those memories of long long ago
We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree
As if Christmas was invented for you and for me
When the angel on the treetop requested a song
We sang, “Silent night all day long”
–John Prine, Silent Night All Day Long
Redtree Times 
Merry Christmas, Gary!
And a Merry Christmas to you and yours, Beth!
I’ll bet that woman was sitting in a red chair, too. Merry Christmas, Gary!
This painting is magical. Today, here in the Upper Midwest, dusk looks like this. I’ve pondered the painting many times since you posted it. The John Prine message is perfect.
It is a painting that is visually and emotionally intense.
A beautiful gift on Dec 23.
Merry Christmas Gary! š
