Old Saint Nicolas...


My favorite Santa is my Paper and card board Saint Nicolas, that is about 18 years old. Each year I take pics of his face, but this year I used the mono pod and finally got his beautiful face in a clear shot.

What do you call Saint Nick after he comes down the chimney?
Cinder Clause

He lives on the breakfast bar for the season, but I sat him in front of the mirror to drape the lights to reflect on him.
