Mr. and Mrs. Santa has held an honored place on our Christmas tree for more than thirty years.
Santa’s foot tends to dangle while skin colored fabric pokes through Mrs. Santa’s hair.
As I put the decorations away, I savor the memories of Christmases past and grieve the loss of the future.

In my absence, Mr. and MRS. santa bring lots of love and a lifetime of memories.
I love you,
Mom.
