#003 "Sports and Cookies Santa", donated by Roberta Dillon

Sports and Cookies Santa, featuring a Dee Gann original. Each year this well-known Santa designer, originally from Sterling, creates another collection of the sought-after Santas. Her intricate construction, theme and unique features are always a marvel! This jolly icon sports a gray velvet suit with a lace bodice overlayed with a red and white pine tree-patterned suit jacket, trimmed in gray houndstooth and fur. He’s holding a cookie tray with colorful gingerbread men, a cookie cutter, mini Christmas tree, baseball, football, a Wrigley Field bleacher ticket, and several other whimsical items.
