Each year Mr Saunders calls for primary-school children across the Dubbo electorate to help design his Christmas card, and this year 12-year-old Aaron brought the title back to Mudgee Public School.
"This year saw a record number of entries with the theme 'Let Loose from Lockdown' - and the kids certainly let loose their creativity!" Mr Saunders said.
"Aaron's design - a Ute packed to the brim with presents, zooming off on holiday - really captures that excitement we're all feeling as Christmas approaches.
Aaron received a certificate, a framed version of his drawing for the school and a $200 Big W voucher. Aaron said he isn't sure what he's going to spend it on yet. "It took me about three weeks to draw it, over a span of time," he said.
Aaron's Christmas card design will start arriving in mailboxes across the Dubbo electorate including the Mid-Western Region this week.
