    Each kid was in charge of a candle, watching it like a hawk.

    One child is remove from the circle after each carol. As the circle shrinks, the candle heat becomes more intense. The first to have their clothes catch fire wins.

    Modestly enlarged image can be found here, or at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (yesterday).Silent Night is shown, with a different coloration image, and described, by its current-location page (click ENGLISH above description top right edge, if not already; the audio description — speaker icon below text, has more).Another different coloration image can be found here. A larger different coloration image can be found here, another can be found here, and different coloration detail image can be found here.This painting is shown about 2:30 into this video (fullscreen is active) showing several of the artist’s works

    His Wikipedia page calls the painting Merry Christmas. A note there says Gauguin suggested making the tree brighter. The artist’s Google translated Danish Wikipedia page has a bit more about him; his Wikipedia collection (more under Subcategories).

    Bedstemor Borge, having lost most of her hair during previous such escapades, wisely remains near the door. Far Borge, being away to Sweden on business, missed the festivities and fire. Unge Viktor will tell the story to his son every year at Jul. and thus begins a magnificent, droll wit.

    Sometimes after you clean a painting of the grime accumulated over the ages the painting will brighten significantly
