Santa Claus Painting Sold For $2.17 Million



A Norman Rockwell painting of Santa Claus perched on a stepladder sold for $2.17 million to an anonymous buyer at Christie's on Thursday according to Newsday.com

The painting, "Extra Good Boys and Girls," is the original of a Saturday Evening Post cover from 1939. It shows Santa going over his book of good boys and girls and planning his Christmas Eve route. A world map is in the background.
Santa must be some model to fetch $2.17 million.
