Author's note

CHRISTmas by D. Herring is a free Christmas religious dingbat font from 1999, built around sacred holiday imagery rather than lettering. The set leans on hand-drawn devotional scenes - Madonna and child, angels, stained-glass framing, and ornamental monogram-like emblems - with sharp inked contours that give the motifs a vintage church-bulletin feel.

It fits naturally in Christmas cards, parish newsletters, seasonal flyers, gift tags, and church event programs, where a single symbol can carry the theme fast. As a free font, it also works for title cards, cover lines, and decorative initials that need a reverent, illustrated note instead of a neutral icon set.
