Merrie Christmas or Jolly Man in Top Hat by Norman Rockwell
FYI: "Merrie Christmas, this Norman Rockwell painting, appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post published December 3, 1921. The alternate title for this painting is Jolly Man in Top Hat. Here is another famous Norman Rockwell Christmas illustration. You might ask "What does this painting have to do with Christmas?" And that is a very reasonable question. Of course, the caption assures us that this is a Christmas picture. Besides the man's rosy cheeks and the warm looking clothes he is wearing, there are only a few other clues. It is obviously winter. The man is wearing mittens, a top hat, heavy wool coat and a thick scarf. But winter doesn't necessarily mean Christmas. Look carefully on his lapel. There is a sprig of holly, a leaf and three berries, pinned to his lapel. A clue! The only other clue is the jolly look on the man's face. Rockwell captured the gleam in his eyes and the joyful smile on his face. His jolly mood was captured for all eternity by Rockwell's brush and canvas. Now that says Christmas."
