I first saw this blue-robed Santa Claus when I was (I’m guessing) eight years old. It was in a little shop in Georgia that we often visited and I remember falling in love with his jolly face and regal outfit. Ever since then, this unique Father Christmas has found a place of importance on my tree.
Crafted of papier mache, he sports a jaunty red hat and a robin’s-egg-blue robe trimmed with (faux) fur. In one hand, he carries a pine tree of brush and across his shoulder hangs a real canvas bag. Beautifully detailed, this hand-painted ornament will always remain a favorite.
