"A beautiful addition to our collection"
The photo drew my wife and I in. We collect unique Santa s and were looking for an Asian Santa — still an if anyone has a suggestion — when we saw Ali s ‘Father Christmas. We bought it and hoped the piece would be as special as the photo promised . It was. It s a beautiful piece that will remain in our family forever. Love it!
