This is sort of a companion piece to one of the two layouts for this weeks Anna Lift https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=273950&title=a-visit-from-santa&cat=all - it is of my and Santa. I was about 5 years old. Whereas the other page had soft red accents, I chose to do things using a soft mint/aqua green for this page, otherwise, many of the elements are similar as I will probably display them together.

Journaling reads: I remember years later, asking my mom about Santa coming to visit us on Kelsey Avenue. She told me it was Mr. Clark, our next door neighbor, who had dressed up as Santa to come over and surprise us. Such a special time, the 60s were, when we knew all our neighbors, and would spend time with them. So different than today. I long for those days, the old time Christmas, where everyone knew everyone; we would have lunch, or coffee. Times were different then.
