Christmas is my favorite time of the year and since I was a little girl, I've always loved to decorate and set a fancy dining room table.

Combining these two favorites is pure ecstasy, and I tried to capture that feeling in this painting of my dining room table at Christmas. The colorful red tablecloth, softened by a fire in the dining room fireplace with all of Santa's stockings hanging in ready, sets the scene for what Christmas is all about.

Happy music and art, Cinder LeDell
