Christmas at the Kringles by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Christmas at the Kringles by P. Buckley Moss is a rare signed and numbered limited edition giclée that celebrates the warmth, joy, and companionship of the holiday season. In this festive scene, Santa Claus himself cradles two furry friends—a wide-eyed black-and-tan dog and a calm orange cat—close to his heart. His rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes capture the spirit of generosity and love that defines Christmas.

Behind Santa, a glowing fireplace and decorated Christmas tree set the stage for a cozy family gathering. A woman in a rocking chair knits peacefully by the fire, while a basket of colorful yarn and hanging stockings complete the charming holiday tableau. This piece belongs to the Moss Dog Collection, the Christmas Collection, and the Cat Collection, making it especially appealing to multi-theme collectors.

Style & Technique

Moss employs bold colors and strong lines to bring Santa and his companions to life. The rich reds of Santa’s suit, the golden glow of the fire, and the greens of the Christmas tree contrast beautifully with the neutral background, making the central figures shine. The giclée process preserves the vibrancy and painterly texture of Moss’s original work, while each edition is signed and numbered edition by P. Buckley Moss, ensuring its authenticity and rarity.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Christmas at the Kringles is joyful and heartwarming. Moss often found inspiration in everyday family traditions, and here she expands that warmth into the world of Santa Claus—reminding us that even St. Nick has a place in his heart for dogs and cats. The piece celebrates not just the magic of Christmas, but also the unconditional love that pets bring into our lives.

Placement & Gift Ideas

This giclée makes a wonderful seasonal centerpiece in a living room, entryway, or above the fireplace. It is also a thoughtful gift for families, pet lovers, or collectors of Moss’s holiday works. Because it spans the Dog, Cat, and Christmas Collections, it is a crossover collectible with broad appeal and long-term value.

🐾 Fun Fact: Did you know many European legends describe Santa (or St. Nicholas) traveling with animals? From horses to donkeys, and even dogs in some folk tales, animals have long been seen as part of Santa’s magical journey—making Moss’s inclusion of both a dog and cat especially meaningful.
