1. Holiday Table: an austere and lovely still life with a very painterly feel

Christmas Tree of holiday lights: I like the depth and the feeling of being in the middle of things

Canadian Parliament: very festive and wintry looking

Although I also very much like the Grinch, I liked Christmas lights in the park even more: even though it’s abstract I still got a holiday feeling because of the colors and shape

3. Christmas Cake: a great shot – it makes my mouth water! Between the beautiful cake (love that drivin’ snowman!) and the Christmas tree in the background, there’s no doubt about what time of year it is.

So that's it, Pieter you get to lead the next challenge!
