I hope Leo has been a good boy this past year, so Grandfather Frost can come visiting...
Looks like he's bringing some lucky lad a length of 4 x 2.
Should come in useful.

His magic staff is a chunk of a wooden chopstick. It's not easy to find mini magic staffs in these parts.
Ah, right. Magic staff. Should've read your description more closely. Oops 
Quote:The nose makes him look rather alcoholic! The book cover is perfect.
I don't know if Russian children leave out glasses of vodka for him, but I should not be at all surprised...
Thank you so much, dear Moira, for remembering about the Russian Christmas, very kind of you! (a wonderful picture, by the way, thanks again). Meanwhile, unlike Santa, Russia's Father Frost is not so much about Christmas but the New Year - that's what Russians celebrate the most..
Santa Claus is more a flirt, a rogue. Father Frost is more understanding, he's more of a kind magician. The differences may seem subtle. After all, they're both bearded men in red suits, but a Russian joke tells it this way:
Santa delivers presents with reindeers, Russia's Father Frost turns up a bit tipsy with a young girl on his arm. That's the Snow Maiden, Snegurochka
🎅🏼 🎄 🧖🏼♀️

Thanks for the info Leo. I know this is about the New Year, but I had another upload planned for then...
Lovely interesting capture.
