A trip to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA in December was my first time visiting it in the winter. A special treat was seeing the exhibit of his Christmas and New Year's paintings and magazine covers, and a few Christmas cards, one being his personal card. Some of those paintings are shown below, as well as some of my favorites. A copy of their brochure is at the end. I'm glad I just read it, because I didn't know it was open year round.
