Nothing is more relaxing to needlepointers when holiday stress gets us down than looking at wonderful stitching. I've been collecting links to wonderful Christmas stitching so I can present them to you. Go get your favorite beverage and enjoy the lovely stitching and the fabulous finishing!

This canvas isn't stitched but the colors and the matching scissors fob and scissors and the fact that it is Christmasy without having a Christmas theme makes it irresistible to me.

Steph's local stitching group has an ornament exchange each year. Hers are wonderful!

I think I'll close with a photograph from the 2009 Christmas parade in Middleburg which is fairly close to where I live. It illustrates those magic moments that happen all around us if you keep your eyes open. Merry Christmas!
