There are lessons you can learn from any animal in the world, no matter how big or small. For instance, look at pigs. They just love playing in the mud, and gleefully roll about in it without a care in the world. Most importantly, they certainly don’t care what the other farm animals think!

Right from the time I was a kid, my impression of Santa was this large-ish, roly poly man, who was very wise, but didn’t speak much. He had kind eyes and a comforting presence in general. I think this was the result of many Christmas stories I read at the time!

Fast forward to today’s celebrations and you have kids asking if there’s reception at the North Pole, so they can text Santa their list! Then you also have the smarty pants asking how Santa knows if you’ve been good or bad – does he have CCTV everywhere?

Okay, those are some difficult questions to answer!! So instead, let’s go ahead and do something simple – let’s make a cardboard roll Santa Claus Christmas Ornament! And I’m sure you’ll find that this little Santa also has a rather pleasing and gentle appearance!
