Just recently, my wife and I went to Frankenmuth, Michigan. This little city is everything about Christmas with a touch of German. We love going each year. While my wife shops, I have a camera in hand thinking of shots to take. There was this little village of elf and looking around, I thought, what could do I do with Photoshop with something like this? The first thing I wanted was a night scene. Lights turned on at the bar and brought it from sunlight (which it was shot at) to near night. Next, I wanted to feature the elf. Last was I thought about snow, but I did not like it. When I think of elf, I think magic and yes toys. This was the idea of stars to show the magic.

The Magic of Christmas has been a big part of my life for the past five weeks. I believe in angels, and there is no question I have one watching over my wife and I. This Christmas for those who are feeling there lowest if you believe you will be rewarded. It may take time, but it will happen. Believe in the Magic of Christmas. Merry Christmas, everyone, and keep Christmas in your heart all year round, not just this week.
