Description
By the time the last chimney was done, even Père Noël needed a moment to sit. He found a green armchair by a dying fire, set his sack down with a contented sigh and stretched out his boots toward the embers. The house was silent except for the clock, and he allowed himself exactly one cookie before the long ride home. A small boy at the top of the stairs, clutching his blanket, watched the whole thing through the banister rails and never told a soul.
Here he is, caught in that pause between deliveries, comfortable and jolly in his chair with the sack nearby. He makes a warm gift for the hardest-working person you know, a host who hosts every holiday, or a collector building a Santa shelf. On a side table near the tree, he looks perfectly at home. Bring him out as the decorations go up and let him preside over the season from his comfortable seat. He has a way of making a room feel instantly more welcoming, especially once the fire is lit and the cocoa is poured.
