An MP delivered her Christmas card to the Speaker of the House of Commons.
Nusrat Ghani, MP for Sussex Weald, presented the card to the Rt Hon Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, featuring designs by local primary school pupils.
The designs were winners from a competition inviting primary school pupils to submit artwork inspired by their favourite Christmas songs.
Suki, a Year 6 pupil from Framfield Church of England Primary School, emerged as the winner with her colourful picture of Jingle Bells.
Runners-up included Jessica, Year 5 from All Saints' & St Richard's Church of England Primary School in Heathfield, and Emily, Year 5 from Mark Cross Church of England Primary School.
A special commendation was awarded to Year 6 pupil Vanya Serevetnyi from Framfield Church of England Primary School, for her design of the Ukrainian Father Christmas, Micolie.
The designs are showcased on Ms Ghani's Christmas card, which will be sent to almost 2,000 recipients, including residents, businesses, and charities in Sussex Weald and nationwide, as well as King Charles III.
Ms Ghani said: "Suki, Jessica, Emily and Vanya are fantastic young artists whose designs stood out for me from the hundreds of entries I received this year.
"I was delighted to personally deliver my Christmas card to Mr Speaker and champion their designs, which not only beautifully depict our favourite Christmas songs, but also represent the traditions of Ukrainian families living in Sussex Weald.
"A huge thank you to all pupils who have submitted an entry and their teachers who took the time to take part with their class.
"I hope that the Christmas card will bring all recipients joy and Christmas cheer."
