Sixty-three page 8.5” x 11” hardcover book written and illustrated Kathleen Keifer.
In Christmastime at Notre Dame, artist and author Kathleen Keifer celebrates the beauty, faith, traditions, and unmistakable magic of Christmas beneath the Golden Dome. Drawing on her own experiences at Notre Dame—and inspired by her grandfather’s poetry and sketches, discovered in the 1927 Dome yearbook—Kathleen invites readers into a season filled with warmth, wonder, and cherished memories.
Through vibrant artwork, personal stories, historic traditions, poetry, carols, and reflections, she captures the moments that make Christmas at Notre Dame unforgettable: the first snowfall, the glow of Advent candles, touchdowns in the snow, the Band echoing through the stadium, drinks at the Linebacker, Christmas Eve at the Basilica, and peaceful walks beside the winter lakes. Rich with nostalgia, faith, and Fighting Irish spirit, Christmastime at Notre Dame is a joyful love letter to a beloved place at the most magical time of the year—and a keepsake to treasure for Christmases to come.

Notre Dame & Kathleen Keifer
The icons of the University of Notre Dame: the Golden Dome, the grotto, the stadium, and the gold helmets are equally as important to me as the beach icons I paint.
I am a triple legacy of Notre Dame. My grandfather, Frank O’Toole ’28, played football for Knute Rockne. My father, James O’Toole ’55, fought in the Bengal Bouts. My husband Jim Keifer and I, class of ‘85, met in an art class at Notre Dame, and were married in the log chapel.
I may be prejudiced, OK I am, but I think it’s the most beautiful college campus in the world. One of my favorite things to do is to fly in for a game- nothing like a crisp October game day to wake up the echoes and shake down the thunder!- and set up my easel in the God Quad, paint the Dome, and swap stories with other fans. I do accept painting commissions which include a 20% surcharge. Go Irish!

The Gold Standard is a book framed around Kathleen Keifer’s experience of visiting Notre Dame for the first time as a child in October of 1971, and how the beauty and richness of the campus and tradition inspired the artist herself. It’s a big, 11.5” x 11.5” hard cover coffee table book that contains almost 200 of Kathleen’s most popular paintings, and stories you’ve never heard about Notre Dame!
