My Christmas dollhouse is almost done, or will it ever really be done? More pictures on the walls, decorations for the tree, a cat in Santa's lap? Perhaps, but for now I am quite happy with what I have made.
Santa is holding a card he received from a little boy in Maine, so far away! Santa's dog Aput waits patiently, ready for play. The fire burns brightly and the tree is decorated. Santa just came inside from feeding the reindeer and still has his stocking cap on. Mrs. Claus promised to bring some tea and goodies she has baked. But, for now Santa is content to read his cards and think about bringing smiles to the faces of children all over the world. Today he talked with the elves about making some special toys. Santa especially loves horses and would the elves to make rocking horses and hobby horses for next Christmas. Santa talked with Mrs. Claus about dolls today. They are designing a new doll made of wool felt with soft hair and bright eyes, just the right size for little arms to hold. Mrs. Claus would like to design a dollhouse for the elves to build, too.
Mrs. Claus is busy in the kitchen, but as you can see she is wearing her new green chiffon dress. She's ready to relax by the fire with Santa and drink some tea. She is about to cut into the coffeecake with red cherries, her favorite. Stew is bubbling on the stove for a late supper. Mrs. Claus hung a picture of her favorite cat on the wall earlier today. He was a huge white fluffy cat and lived to be 18 years old. His name was Sven. Mrs. Claus is hoping Santa will bring her a kitten for Christmas. Yes, Mrs. Claus likes Santa to give her a surprise present at Christmas, too.
