Old Fashioned Holidays 
Hi,
I like the picture of the Santa Claus with the basket. I am not to sure what he is wearing on his feet. He looks like he is skiing down a hill. But I don’t know why he has a basket on his back. I know that he is not Santa because he is not jolly and he is pretty small to be a Santa. Plus it looks like an elf skiing down a hill.
I very like the little Santa that has a basket because he is tiny and very funny.
I also like him because he looks like an elf and I like tiny little and small elves.
Also I like his little hat it is very tiny and funny.
