i suppose this could be considered a "Christmas" theme picture, as there is a Madonna reverently holding her wrapped-up infant in a public space. The space is the Tysons Corner Mall, which I have depicted countless times. It isn't too Christmasy because the mom and child are dressed in summer attire. As for the other girl holding a pocketbook, she's the Holy Child's sister. Nobody knows for sure whether Jesus had siblings, so why not. They are in front of the Disney store where a vast array of sacred images and idols is available for private and family adoration.

According to Scripture, Jesus was Mary's first-born, but he had at least one sibling - a brother (Saint James of Jerusalem, who is neither Saint James the Greater nor Saint James the Lesser...).
