Flo's
Santa
This
little Santa also brings back sweet memories. When my Mum ( Flo) was
in her late 70s and came to stay with us from England, she would stay
for almost 3 months and one time she came to stay over Christmas.
She
was not a person who liked to sit and do nothing but at her age
things for her to do were limited to knotting and reading and often
she needed something different to do while I was busy.
That
year we had seen some Santa's being made on a TV show and she said “I
can do that “, so we got the materials and the cotton batting and
she set to.
Her
Santa turned out fine except she couldn't figure a way to keep his
jolly round tummy from falling out the top of his red pants.
We
really had a chuckle over that.
He is
getting a little worn now but every year he comes out and sits on the
mantle shelf and watches over the festivities and still his tummy is
falling out!
