As charming and heartwarming as a Victorian Christmas carol, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is a nostalgic vignette of Yuletide joy. You can almost hear Charles’ and Emily’ voices raised in song, wishing a joyous and Merry Christmas to all!

This is the eighth of my Lovely Ladies Doilies series, and the first (but certainly not the last!) to feature a male figure. Designing Charles has given me so many wonderful ideas for future doilies; I want to design everything from Prince Charming to Rhett Butler! My only problem is deciding which one to make first!
