While I was unpacking my Christmas decorations which had been in storage for 4 years I came across a precious gift so I decided to make a still life in honor of my dearest friend Arlene who left this world too soon in February 2013.
Arlene had many beautiful Christmas decorations and one day she had gone shopping and came home with this adorable Santa. I liked him so much we decided to go on a mission a few days later to find one for me. We spent a whole day looking for one like it but came home empty handed. So I gave up and forgot about it until Christmas morning when I opened up my gift from her and was so happy to see this adorable Santa in the box with a tag on him that said “Adopt Me”, Arlene gave her Santa to me, she was like that, so thoughtful and giving. I will always remember my dear friend and will cherish my “Adopted Santa” until the day comes when I will see her again…

Your story hits home with me. Reminds me of my sister, Deborah, and our love for this great holiday. We always went in search of Santa ornaments/decor, and other unique Christmas items.
