How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, no picture shows a brand or a logo, and none shows a character from a film, show, book or game. Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus are drawn in our own way, after no film, book or advertisement. The descriptions say only what each drawing shows, and the color and square counts were counted from the finished grids. Licence: own work
