My annual new year's tradition

My annual New Year's tradition is designing an original illustration and card to send to friends and family. I'm so busy in December filling orders I never seem to have time to sit down and think about my illustration until January. It always ends up that I wish everyone a happy new year for the 11 remaining months of the year. January is never all that good, due to the continuing cold, dark weather, yet lack of holiday distractions, so maybe it's best I leave it out.

This year I caught some opossums having a party in a 1001 Decorating Ideas Magazine living room scene from 1963.
