The Vintage Victorian Scenes of Christmas
Adult Coloring Book tells a story!
First we see, off in the distance, a big ship that delivers loved ones and
sailors home for Christmas.
As they walk towards their waiting families, they meet up with long-lost friends.
Then we see a frolicking group going home through the woods, with a
fresh Christmas Tree!
Before they arrive, their father looks out seeing them come towards him.
They made it home!
The Mother is content with the gift of her new baby, and all of her
children gathered around her.
Then they hang the stockings on the mantle, over the fireplace.
Classic Victorian scene of the happy children getting ready for a visit from Saint
Nicholas! The roaring fire highlights their Christmas wonder!
Before bed, a few of the children look longingly into the fire, wondering
if they will have a visit from Old Saint Nick!
They get sleepy as the dancing lights mesmerize them into a cuddly, warm bed.
The children dream of a fine Victorian Christmas Morn on the other side
of their Happy Christmas Eve!
Sweetly sleeping, they do not see, nor hear Saint Nicholas jump out of the
fireplace, with a plop!
Alas, he is big and jolly Victorian Father Christmas!
He quietly and gingerly reaches in his magic red sack!
