Walker Martin said...: I looked at my copy and the cover artist is credited as Lecian V. Bernuth. The painting is titled "His Christmas Mail".

I read the "The Gift" by Max Brand several years ago at Christmas and remember it as a fine holiday story. There are 4 other stories in the issue dealing with Christmas including one called "When Santa Claus Was Forgiven". I think I'll read it.; December 21, 2011 at 8:33 PM

Cap'n Bob said...: I can't figure out what he's doing. Little help!; December 22, 2011 at 3:59 AM
Walker Martin said...: Cap'n, it looks like he is opening up his Christmas mail and looking at a pair of socks he received. But the sock looks too small.

In the background is postal employee with a sack of US mail. A sight we will being seeing less and less of in the future.; December 22, 2011 at 4:26 AM
