Christmas is my favorite time of the year!  I love the anticipation of family to visit, the sparkling lights on trees and houses, as well as secretly-wrapped presents.

That is the inspiration behind my November subscription kit design.  My children couldn't wait for Santa to bring goodies.  But it wasn't just the gifts, they were waiting on; it was the specialness of the season.  It was knowing that everyone's attention was on each other.  No work schedules.  No errands.  Just togetherness.

On the larger design, the words, "The Joy of Santa" are surrounded by a simple red and silver Christmas tree and a gathering of presents.  One the smaller design, are Santa's tools of the trade; his sleigh and reindeer.

This cross stitch kit comes with both color and black/white patterns, 14 count white fabric, white muslin fabric for backing your hoop, an 8-inch hoop AND a 6-inch hoop, 7 full sets of DMC skeins of embroidery thread, high-quality John James tapestry needle, and instructions and tips guide.
