Ho Ho Ho Santa Décor

The countdown has begun. Christmastime is coming soon. This Ho Ho Ho Santa Claus is pretty easy to create and darling to use in decorating a wreath or as an ornament on the tree. We like to make new ornaments every year to tie on our gifts for family and friends and this year, we are making these.
