i wanted to celebrate Christmas at the beach in hot summer Christmas Day. I have used a photo of a woman in her bathers with whirling water splashing about amongst bright Christmas elements & flowers & insect.

A daunting first meeting with Santa! It must have been difficult for him in the hot costume with no air conditioning and mid-summer heat.
