Rudolf has made his annual appearance at a roadside stand on the Pan American Hiway between San Jose and Samara. A Costa Rican holiday tradition, this family sets up shop for a few weeks each year, making Christmas creatures. Each reindeer is sculpted of shredded Melina wood and tied with fishing line. they come in a variety of sizes. Mama takes the money.
