Nautical Santa

Santa dressed for the shore instead of the North Pole. His coat and gown are a soft nautical blue, and he holds a length of fishing net filled with seashells and starfish, as if he had spent the morning gathering on the beach instead of loading the sleigh. On Cape Cod this is the Santa that makes sense. He belongs in the blue-and-white house, on the mantel of a summer cottage opened up for the holidays, or in the home of someone who moved off-Cape and misses the water every December. Set him beside the Nautical Mrs. Claus for the pair.
