My Santa really gave me an amazing, heartwarming gift for this exchange.

I'm a full-time artist. This is my day job. As funding for art and creative programs is in danger of being destroyed in our current political landscape; I ask Santa to do something unconventional for my gift.

I have art supplies stacked to the ceiling and back. More than I can use in the next 6 months. So, I ask Santa to donate to Burbank Arts For All.

BAFA is a non-profit dedicated to ensuring ALL children in the Burbank School District have access to a quality art education. Every year, they hold the SECRET ART SHOW - a $40 flat-fee art show where the only way to know who made the art you are interested in is to buy that piece. Every year, I send in multiple pieces to the show.

Santa happily obliged and made a $25 dollar donation in my Honor. I am so grateful to have an amazing Santa who went above and beyond to support a cause near and dear to my heart.

I also told Santa they were free to send me a piece of their art and I received an amazing piece of their art. A mixed media Butterfly Elf. Santa didn't title her so I'm calling her Goddess of the Nectar Garden. Hope you don't mind Santa.

Santa, if you are reading this, I want to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting such an amazing cause! I apologize for taking so long to give you props. Its been a crazy few weeks. Also. Be expecting me to return fire :)
