This counted cross stitch pattern by Hello From Liz Mathews looks down on a snowy village at night as Santa pops out of a brick chimney, with his reindeer flying across a deep blue sky full of stars and a crescent moon. A row of glowing houses and a band of snowflake motifs along the bottom give it a classic Nordic feel, and the larger scale gives you plenty to settle into over the season.
