Description


He's On his Way...
AND HE DOESN'T LOOK HAPPY!

* * * * *

Rumor has it that OLD MAN WINTER is Santa's Brother. Hard to believe they were both brought up in the same North Pole!!

One brings us brutal cold and the other brings us presents to warm our hearts, to make up for his brother's behaviour. :)

STAY WARM AND DRY EVERYONE!

Not bad here so far and no snow yet. I'd love some for Christmas though. A cute capture, Laura! #11406686

Ellen Hodges December 03, 2015

Such a very cute capture, Laura!! Looks like a gingerbread buddha. Think he will be more cheerful when he is riding in his brother's sleigh!! Fantastic details and capture!! #11407675

I do NOT like the look on his face, Sister. What has he got in plans for us this Winter I wonder? It doesn't promise well, that I can tell.
Apart from that I think this is an awesome creation. The frost (or is it cobweb?) is a fantastic framing of this special face.
P.S. We were always told that Santa lives in Greenland? When did he move to the North Pole? Oh, maybe there are two? #11407950

Yes he does look angry, maybe he's not to keen on Winter either. He sure makes for a great photography subject, hope he brings you a mild Winter=^..^= #11410535

So sorry I missed this til now, Pom. I've never found a good way to display this guy from our day at the temple, but your frosty version is PERFECT, as is the story for it!
Winner! #11411901

Hi Carol, Terry, Ellen, SSSKiki, Emile, Amalia, Chris and Mary :) This sure was a commanding and BIG statue. I changed out the background because it was a wall and window behind him. Then added a framing that reminded me the most of snow. :))) Maybe one day I WILL write a short story about him for kids everywhere that do not appreciate Santa like they should! (HeeHee). Thanks for the nice comments everyone and for the visit. -SSSPommy Doodle. #11425167
