My 12/20/25 postcard comes from the Pueblo Gingerbread House Contest, where a small, handmade figure cradles two children, frozen in a moment that feels less celebratory and more protective. In black and white, the image sheds its holiday context, becoming a quiet scene of care, vulnerability, and the instinct to hold on.
