This object has the following keywords:

• children's literature - General term for literary works written and published for children, including fiction and non-fiction.
• Christmas cards - Greeting cards that are sent or given as expressions of goodwill at Christmastime. The first Christmas cards were made in the 1840s in England. The tradition is followed in all English-speaking countries and the practice is growing in many others.
• Christmas stories
• drawings - Visual works produced by drawing, which is the application of lines on a surface, often paper, by using a pencil, pen, chalk, or some other tracing instrument to focus on the delineation of form rather than the application of color. This term is often defined broadly to refer to computer-generated images as well.
• families - Groups of individuals related by blood, marriage, adoption, or cohabitation.
• India ink - Inks made of carbon black pigment ground in water with water-dispersed resin used as a liquid drawing medium. Distinguished from "black carbon ink," which is made from powdered carbon pigment, usually lampblack, in a dilute aqueous solution of gum or glue.
• landscapes - Creative works, usually two-dimensional, depicting an outdoor scene dominated by the land, hills, fields, sky, trees, fields, rivers or other bodies of water, and other natural elements. Landscapes may include a near point of view in the foreground, but also usually depict a view into the distance. Landscapes may contain architecture or figures, but the primary focus remains the land. When an ocean, sea, or other large body of water dominates the picture, use "seascapes." For actual areas of land rather than depictions, use "landscapes (environments)."
• literature - Printed matter of any kind, or written works in digital form. Examples are tales and writings of a nation, region, period, or language, of a particular form or genre, on a particular subject, or for a particular audience. For the written works produced by an individual or specific group of individuals, use "writings". For the discipline of the humanities dealing with written or oral verbal literary works, use "literary studies."
