I agree with the general consensus - the Redcoats look great - I'd love to receive one.

While the Redcoat painting indeed bears Christmas colors, Angus McBride's Scandinavian picture much more closely depicts the message of the season, with the love of children and the knight searching the skies for the Star of Bethlehem. How can drunken reveling Redcoats or card players and tavern wenches even begin to compete with that?

I would go for the Redcoat officers card. It's the one that represent the most the idea of celebration and friendship.The predominance of red colour is also reminding Christmas. In fact, it really looks like a Christmas card !

I too vote for Gerry Embleton 's _Redcoat Officer_.
Its bright red colour is a very good choice for Christmas!

I would have to go for the Embleton piece, of the redcoats toasting King George. It is the most "Christmasy", colour-wise and also in terms of the merriment shown. While I love the Angus McBride painting, I'm not sure how appropriate it really would be as a Christmas card!

I would like to see the Angus McBride piece from Medieval Scandinavian Armies (1) 1100-1300. It is the only one adults (parents) & children together - which to me is the most - family.important aspect of the holiday.

I would like to vote for the Embleton painting with the officer toast. They have the festive spirit, whther they be toasting the holidays or the King, before they march off to the massacre! To the King, good fellows!

I really like the Embleton from Warrior 42: Redcoat Officer.
The colors are really vivid and Christmassy.

Redcoat Officers!
It's easily the most 'seasonal' of the three, and the one I'd most like to have a print of on my wall. (Don't get me wrong--they're all great, but neither ale-soaked cardplayers or Vikings just back from fundraising in the British Isles really qualifies calls the spirit of the season to mind...)

All three are a stretch for Christmas, but of the three, although i pefer Angus McBride's Pub scence the most, i think Gerry Embleton's Redcoat officer would best represent a Christmas card.

Has to be the Redcoats - the colours and general air of festivity make it easily the most 'Christmassy' of the three.

The first possible scene is from Elite 25: Soldiers of the English Civil War (1) Infantry - and a lovely pub scene by Angus McBride.
This is the one!

Option 2, The Redcoats, as they have the Christmas colours!

Though I find the McBride offering reminding me of my childhood loafing around a table littered with Christmas sweets, I feel that the Embleton piece, with its brilliant reds and joyous officers, reminding me that what makes one cheer most at the holidays is to be with ones family! So I must choose the Embleton piece.

Gerry Embleton's Redcoat Officers brings me in a Christmas-mood already, even though it's only just October, so this isn't a difficult decision. To the King!

It has to be Redcoat Officers for me aswell. - the other scenes do not have the feel of feel Christmas.

even though Angus McBride is my favorite military artist the Redcoat officer scene does have more of the right seasonal feel about it.

I should like to vote for the Redcoat Officer art work for the following reasons;
The colours are most "seasonal".
Also the firelight and obvious camraderie of the toast
and
Finally but not least the complete absence of weapons in the picture which means it cannot offend anyone and also points towards the peace and goodwill to all men sentiment of the Christmas season!

My choice would be the Redcoats. Officers' dining in is a great tradition. Many fond memories of both the ceremonies and the revelry. What better way to celebrate one of our most beloved Holidays. God Bless us all!

'Redcoat Officers' by Gerry Embleton shall be my vote. It does seem to be the most festive of the three offered. No snow in any pictures but the colors in 'Redcoat Officers' seems to give the impression of warmth by the hearth at the same time the dark background feels like cold dark winter. Definitely the closes one depicting a Christmas setting, although all three are wonderful.

I am in the minority, but I vote for the first McBride, Elite 25: Soldiers of the English Civil War (1) Infantry. It has a warm, cozy fireplace, music & friendship, some of the elements that make us think of the holidays.
I think that the Embleton one, though lovely, is a bit harsh and monochromatic for Christmas.
