This one has a whole other kind of appeal! (See another version I posted prior to this one.) Even the font adds to the festive spirit. The beautiful art makes the combination of snippy cold and warming charm almost palpable.

This and my previous post are my favorite two versions of this old poem! 🥰🦃👵🏼
