~The Night After Christmas~

0153

 

It's been a long night and day, but Santa is delighted with the outcome.  He is finally able to rest, relax and soak his tired, cold feet.  He has his pipe, a cup of coffee and a book in his lap in which is recorded his adventures of the night before. 

A warm shawl covers his shoulders.  It is a dark green and navy blue striped velour with bright red snowflakes and red fringe.  He wears red flannel pajama's and a navy blue velvet robe, which is lined with navy blue satin.  His pipe is sculpted.  The label on the bottle in his hand reads, "North Pole Tonic For Extreme Cold."  The coffee in his cup and the water in his footbath are stained glass.  The small book in his lap is an original poem by myself, written in 1995 for my grandchildren, titled, "The Night After Christmas, " inspired by Clement C. Moore's "The Night Before Christmas."  (My grandchildren were asking if Santa ever got to celebrate Christmas.)  The first lines are "Twas the night after Christmas, and all through the shop, not a toy was left, not even a top.  As Santa retired, for a long winter's sleep, he smiled to recall, instead of counting sheep, Christmas Eve had begun with elves here and there, packing toys and candy and games children share."...  The teddy bear is from Boyds Bears.  The floor cloth under the footbath is hand painted on canvas.  This figure is a 26 inch figure.  Seated, he is approximately 22 inches.
