Christmas Surprises!

This jolly old fellow, a surprise Christmas gift from a far away friend, arrived in the mail yesterday. He's the perfect addition to my collection of culinary Santas. Isn't he just ideal for a tea room!? There he is, happily pouring a cup of perfectly brewed tea. He has been nestled among the others Santas, smiling as if he has always been a part of the collection. Thank you dear friend, for thinking of me this holiday season. What a surprise it was to receive this gift. You are so thoughtful. I treasure our friendship, and will always think of you when I glance at this jolly old elf!
