A Quiet Moment Amongst Friends

Christmas Melted My Face

I drew this beautiful thing for The Hairpin and am honored to have it included in a Christmas story by Edith Zimmerman.

Do you read The Hairpin? You should. This Q&A with Santa Claus (Part 1, Part 2) is fascinating. I also drew another holiday thing here.  

WHILE WE'RE TALKING HOLIDAYS: Is The Joy of Christmas: Secret Santas Remix part of your family tradition? Just curious.
