Christmas Always Finds Me


This song was a discovery for me when I went in search of a Christmas song.  I mean, seriously, after all of these years, it's hard to find a new song to illustrate.   Christmas Always Finds Me, by Ingrid Andress, quickly became one of my favorite carols.

This set is another one of my very biographical collections.  I hadn't planned it at the beginning, but as the project started, the concept came to me.   I illustrated different places around the world where I have lived.  On top of that, I included my favorite muraling locations.  Okay, I enjoy all of my murals, but four of them were so special that  I had to compiles all my stories and photographs into books.  (Mexico, Brazil, Liberia, and the Holy Land)



Through the years I've moved a lot,
Different doors with different locks,
But somehow Christmas always finds me.

It's been a while since I wished
For roller blades and pixie sticks,
But somehow Christmas always finds me

When silver bells and silent night
And mistletoe's nowhere in sight

With no chance of snow falling down.
Another year older
Little harder to believe
But somehow Christmas always finds me.

In traffic jams and shopping malls,
I lose the magic of it all,
But somehow Christmas always finds me.

When silver bells and silent night
And mistletoe's nowhere in sight
With no chance of snow falling down.
Another year older
Little harder to believe
But somehow Christmas always finds me
.

It takes me back to younger days
Of stocking on the fireplace
And presents stacked
And waiting by the tree
And even if I'm all alone
A million miles away from home
It shows up in a warm memory.

Another year older
Getting harder to believe
But somehow Christmas always finds me.
