My Mother's Santa

My mother made this ceramic Santa many years ago. She is no longer with us which makes it all the more special when I put it out on our mantel every year at Christmas. She called it her Canada Santa because of the Canada goose. I realized today I've never taken a photo of this special Santa so I decided to include it with my holiday photos for this month.
