This book sculpture captures the joy of Christmas night when Santa and his reindeer begin their magical journey to deliver toys to all good children. Red and white paper strips were quilled to create Santa Claus. The reindeer were cut from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” sheet music. Each deer’s name can be seen on their face. The sleigh was crafted from "Up on the Housetop" sheet music. A book was used to construct the roof with a paper chimney placed on top, along with lights and snow.
