Samplers are a holiday tradition, usually associated with a pleasing, elegantly packaged collection of mini-sized sweets that the whole gang will enjoy. This is why they make the perfect gift. Inspired by this tradition, a Painted Pony artist has created a “Holiday Sampler” that features eight snack-sized images of classic Christmas scenes, from a snowman to a gingerbread cookie to a holly bough.

Shining down from above, a “Star of Wonder” was the guiding light to three wise men and the sign of a miracle to shepherds tending their flock. Positioned atop a Christmas tree during the holiday season, it serves as a reminder that we should never stop looking up to the heavens for magical happenings.

One cold and stormy Christmas Eve, a horse with a shimmering blue coat was traveling through a snow-covered landscape when he heard Christmas carols being sung. Following the sound, he came across a group of children who were helplessly lost in a snow squall.  After guiding them to safety, the children decided to name the horse “Christmas Season Squall.”
