About this design
A striped nightgown, a candle and a plate of gingerbread cookies.
The story behind it
Leaving out cookies and milk for Santa on Christmas Eve is a popular American custom. A letter in St. Nicholas magazine shows children planning to do it by 1896, and many popular accounts link its spread to the 1930s, when parents used it to teach gratitude. Gingerbread, the cookie on this plate, is much older: gingerbread was already being made in the Netherlands in the 13th century.
Proposed colors: Natural
Mockups show the print at true scale on a size M tee. Colors are proposed, not final.
