Christmas from my Nashville studio, painted and drawn by hand. Every piece here started as an original in my studio: story maps of A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker and Santa's North Pole, the Joy to the World Nativity, and hymn tea towels with the words of O Holy Night and Joy to the World.

Looking for a gift? Tea towels ($20) are the easy answer for hostesses, teachers, neighbors and grandmothers. Story map art prints (from $25) are a keepsake for the reader who loves a Christmas classic. Watercoloring books ($14) are a cozy gift for anyone who has always wanted to try painting, and each one comes with video tutorials.

My Christmas story blankets are back for a short time only, November 6 through December 2. Each one is made to order.

Holiday gift questions

What's the best Christmas gift under $25?
A tea towel. Sugar Cookie and Nutcracker are favorites for hostess and teacher gifts, and O Holy Night is a meaningful gift for a friend at church. A Cozy Christmas or Nativity Story watercoloring book is another sweet choice.

Can I mix Christmas prints with other story maps to save?
Yes. With Build Your Bookshelf, add any 3 or more 8x10 or 11x14 art prints to your cart and save 15% automatically (20% on 6 or more). Mix Christmas and year-round stories however you like.

Is there a discount on hymn tea towels?
Yes. O Holy Night and Joy to the World count toward the Hymn Gift Set: add any 3 or more hymn towels and save 10% automatically (15% on 6 or more).

Will the prints fit a standard frame?
Yes. My prints come in standard sizes, so an 8x10 print fits an 8x10 frame from any store. See my favorite frames.

When should I order for Christmas?
Most orders ship within 2 business days, and shipping is free on orders over $85. Order by December 17 for First-Class Mail or December 20 for Priority Mail to arrive before Christmas.
