Santa Mug
"Santa Mug" is Tom's interpretation of a cup that caught his eye and found its way into my stocking nearly twenty years ago. Even though it just holds candy canes in our house, I like to think a small child once drank hot cocoa from it on a cold mornings in the 1950s. I also imagine it filled with milk and placed beside a plate of cookies; strategically positioned by small children near a Christmas tree or fireplace while waiting for Santa's visit.
With the twinkle of his eye and ever-present smile, Santa continues bringing whimsical enjoyment...both observed and imagined!
Merry Christmas!
Carrie
