A Christmas Celebration

By Thomas Kinkade

Christmas evokes some of the most vivid memories we have. Whether it's the new fallen snow, the smell of gingerbread cookies baking, or decorating the tree, it conjures up recollections of past celebrations.

Thomas Kinkade is a well-known painter and author who spreads inspiration through art. Known as the "Painter of Light," Thomas generates joy and beauty in all his creations.

A Christmas Celebration features uplifting passages from notables such as Helen Steiner Rice, Charles Dickens, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Thomas Kinkade's own musings. Each page is designed with an inspiring quote and painting to evoke the true celebration of Christmas.

Thomas Kinkade

As America’s most-collected living artist, Thomas Kinkade has become a kind of Norman Rockwell for the new millennium. Kinkade has parlayed his background as a California family man and devout Christian to preside over a growing art empire that includes everything from books and prints to Bible covers and furniture fabric. Virtually unknown until the late 1990s, the self-described "painter of light" has seen his artistic talent develop into a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, a thriving website, a string of walk-in galleries, and a strong presence on the QVC home-shopping network. (A USA Weekend report noted that the artist’s share in the company stock was worth up to $30 million.) Because editions of his prints sell in the millions, an "original Kinkade" is a virtually unattainable object. He is a best-selling author and has illustrated such books as A Child’s Christmas at St. Nicholas Circle by Douglas Kaine McKelvey
