As I cast about the house looking for a subject for a Christmas post I came upon this little model of Santa, Rudolph and his present-laden sleigh. We couldn't recall when or why we had bought it though there must have been a reason. The best we could do was assume it was to decorate the Christmas cake in a manner that would please the grandchildren. As I put it on a black background and pointed ny macro lens at it I couldn't help but feel sorry for Rudolph. He had clearly been deserted by all the other reindeers and the reponsibility for pulling the sleigh fell solely on him.
