With the holidays right around the corner, I find myself feeling nostalgic for the winters of my childhood. I grew up in Michigan, so I’m used to having lots of snow and a “white Christmas.” Living in Dallas, where it’s 60 degrees in December, I sometimes forget that this is actually winter! To get myself into the holiday spirit, I set out to explore images of snowy fun in our collection.* Happy Holidays!

Detail of The Owlkill. I want to go sledding!
Detail of Berthe Morisot's Winter (Woman with a Muff). I had a muff when I was little and loved it.
*My colleagues in the Family Programs department are also getting into the holiday spirit. Be sure to check out the DMA Family Blog, We Art Family, to read their version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.
