A great entry for this contest,the kids spying on Santa as he leaves presents under their tree! I like the stockings, bearing the kids names on them,hanging next to the fireplace, the flames reflecting upon the hardwood floor. Impressed,as always by the amount of detailing seen throughout this piece, like Santa's shadow, texture of the brick wall and Christmas tree, as well as the children's hair. Very well composed and presented,best wishes to you!

The wonder of Christmas. Waiting for Santa. Than trying to stay up to see when he arrives. These kids found him. Lucky. Most don't. Too tired to stay up. I enjoyed the video.

Again, a great post. And yes, Santa would jump right out of his skin. This is a great view of the excitement of little children at Christmastime. Well done. Big brother is always the one telling the others what to do! Great job.

Hi Mark, I can think of many times when I was a kid that my brothers and I wanted so much to catch Santa in the act. We never did but the thought was so much fun! Love how you take us back to those days. I think you captured this moment perfectly !Thanks for the wonderful smile! Great Christmas entry! Good Luck in the Contest!:o) Nancy

My, Santa has long hair. Nice Christmasy picture all around. Especially like the glow of the fireplace on the floor. I like the simple Christmas tree.

Awww- so adorably cute!! Kids being told to stay silent and quiet with Santa just close by. Interesting composition. It's such a lovely artwork. Each component from Christmas tree to staircase to costumes done so beautifully. Kudos
