About this ebook
The Three Wise Men, the Shepherds, Christmas
gifts, and other Christmas holiday traditions call forth timeless thoughts in the 28 verses of Angels in the Night. These verses were written by Micks Purnell for the Christmas cards he has sent to family and friends over the years. The first was written in 1970 when Micks was 20 years old. Each was written in the October-to-December timeframe of the year for the upcoming Christmas holiday season. Each verse was designed to provide a warm and stabilizing thought to the reader through a perspective on Christmas. With the verses in Angels in the Night are the simple line drawings Micks created for the front of his Christmas cards.

The verses in this book I wrote for the Christmas cards I have sent to family and friends over the years. The drawings with the verses I drew for the front of the Christmas cards. I produced the first card in 1970 when 20 years old.
I composed each verse in the period from October to December of the year. When the deadline imposed by the holiday approached I finalized the verse. The drawing for the front of the card was then created in less than an hour. I rushed verse and drawing to a print
