Christmas holidays are a time when you especially want to give, share and multiply warmth and joy. We find our joy in what we do — in aesthetics and design.
We developed this project with the thought of the durability of the Ukrainian tradition, the desire to pay tribute to the illustrators and designers of the past, and most importantly — to share with as many people as possible our admiration for Ukrainian fine art.

Happy Holidays!
I wish you a Happy New Year,
Though not as a world, wish I
But spiritual blessings while here,
And a permanent joys upon high.
May your Christmas be so magical that even a wizard would take notes! May your tree sparkle like it’s under a charm, your gifts appear as if by spell, and your holiday cheer last longer than Gandalf’s beard. Wishing you a season full of wonder and wizardry!
May your Christmas be as jolly as a snowman with a zero chance of melting! Wishing you warm cocoa, cold snowball fights, and a holiday so magical even Frosty would be jealous. Stay cool and merry!

Happy Holidays!
May your Christmas be filled with joy, laughter, and just enough silence to drink your coffee while it’s still hot. May your junior’s toy batteries mysteriously die at the perfect moment, and may you step on fewer LEGO bricks this holiday season. Wishing you sleep, sanity, and a very merry Christmas!
Sitting under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
One last candle burning low,
All the sleepy dancers gone,
Just one candle burning on,
Shadows lurking everywhere:
Some one came, and kissed me there.
Nodding under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
No footsteps came, no voice, but only,
Just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely,
Stooped in the still and shadowy air
Lips unseen—and kissed me there.
Bells are ringing, the snowflakes gleam,
The world feels wrapped in a Christmas dream.
Laughter dances through the frosty air,
As joy and magic are everywhere.
"Good tidings, friends!" he called with cheer,
"The season of joy and love is here!
May your hearts be warm, your troubles small,
And laughter echo through the hall."
On Christmas Eve, through snow so deep,
Hop-o’-My-Thumb took careful leaps.
No gifts to bring, no feast in sight,
Yet hope he carried through the night.
No path too rough, no night too grim,
The smallest spark burned bright in him.
For size, he proved, is no true measure,
Courage and cleverness are the treasure.
May your Christmas be as magical as a snow-covered Sapkovski's Kaer Morhen, as rich as a plate of pierogi at grandma’s table, and as joyous as finding an extra gift under the tree!
Before the ice is in the pools—
Before the skaters go,
Or any check at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow—
Before the fields have finished,
Before the Christmas tree,
Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
The sun still sleeps, not out of bed,
The forest is dark, it fills one with dread.
But look at the children, though little they be,
They’ll find their way in the world, you’ll see.
