Santa Bread

Overview

As we enter December, it feels like Christmas is just around the corner. When I was a child, every Christmas, I looked forward to Santa Claus coming to deliver gifts. After I had a child, I became Santa Claus. I secretly put the gifts in front of the bed and told him that Santa Claus was coming to deliver gifts in the evening.
