This hand painted, wooden Father Christmas is not as old as it looks. It was given to me about 15 years ago
by very good friends who are now very far away in distance, but never in my thoughts ... especially at this time
of the year. One of the best things about the Christmas season for me is the memories that decorations
and baubles can rekindle. This Santa, for example, can make 4,000 miles seem a lot shorter.
