I agree that it is rather (very, actually) Norman Rockwell. I like it. Gives the sense of the old fashioned Christmas. Now, did anyone try to sneak one of those candy canes while he's snoring? #9058324

Thank you Christine and Dan!
Santa was wonderful to work with and here he pretended to be asleep in attempt to get a little child who was a nervous to just stand in front of him so we could get a picture that his mom really wanted.
One kid did ask if the candy canes were really and if he could eat it. Unfortunately they are just ornamental and don't taste so well 8D #9058342
