Santa by the Fireplace
Santa crouching by a cozy fireplace placing a gift, with three stockings on the mantel and a garland above — a snug holiday coloring page.
Step inside on Christmas Eve with this Santa by the fireplace coloring page. Santa is crouched beside a cozy hearth, carefully placing a gift, while three stockings hang from the mantel and a decorated garland is draped above. A small fire flickers among a few logs in the fireplace, completing the snug indoor scene. With a fireplace, stockings, garland, and Santa all in one picture, there is lots to color, making this a satisfying page for kids who like a full setting rather than a single figure. The stockings are a perfect spot to use three different colors. Hanging stockings by the fire is an old custom said to come from a story about Saint Nicholas dropping gold into stockings left to dry. Print it on US Letter or A4 and let the fire glow with reds, oranges, and yellows.
Coloring Tips
- Glowing fire — layer red, orange, and yellow in the hearth so the flames look warm and bright.
- Three stockings — give each hanging stocking its own color so the mantel looks cheerful and full.
- Brick by brick — use a few shades of red or brown on the bricks instead of one flat color for a cozy look.
