Ok , as promised way back on December 1st, here are the Awful Santas. Well, in my opinion they’re awful, but for various reasons. First the skinny one on the left is almost OK, but somehow misses it. However, he does get points for eyes which are kinda nice. Then, there [...]

How to display a trio of Santa salt and pepper shakers? To me, they’re little couples. So, for the romantic Mr. and Mrs. Claus in the middle I simply had to put their bench under a tiny tree, suitably decorated, of course. The couple on the left, whom we call Stephen and Phil, [...]
My next Santa Clause ornament is maybe a little rough, maybe just a bit worn, after all he’s been part of quite a few Christmases before he came into my Santa collection. But he looks so cute by day, almost tripping over the little Santa at his feet.
And he looks absolutely wonderful at night, [...]

25 Days of Christmas Santa Ornaments - December 9 - 2 More St. Nicks and a Couple of Unusual Sleighs
My Santa Clauses do get some unusual sleighs sometimes. Like this Hot Chili Pepper sleigh. The spirals really make this design.
Next is the sleigh covered in spruce which of course I had to surround with, yes, the same trees from yesterday’s display.
This big bashful fella is my largest Santa Claus ornament and I just couldn’t resist playing up his height by setting up a little forest all around him. Not to mention having him tower over his little Santa buddies who seem to be in a perpetual state of wide-eyed surprise.
Now this Holly decorated sleigh on the left, seems to be sort of a luxury sedan model. Note the happy and relaxed Santa passenger. The next is more of a sporty model, built for speed. Although I don’t know how fast it will go with this odd but lovable looking reindeer, I do [...]
These are the first of a few Santas with sleighs in the collection. The first is a pretty racy Santa, ready to peel out in a rush. It actually has friction wheels on the underside and has a bit of zip.
The second, seems to be stuck on some sort of sledge, not much oomph [...]
Way back in April when I started this blog I wrote about abundance in a recession. And today, thinking about Christmas, my fave time of year, I’m reminded of abundance. Our Christmases are full of abundance! As I always love to say the world is an abundant place as long as you like second [...]

How to present Three Santa heads? Well, dreaming of course.. of a holiday in the tropics far away from the cold North Pole. Don’t you love the rosy glow of the tropical sunset?
Some of these Santas not only bring the gifts but also the trees. Now that’s awfully thoughtful. My fave here is the little guy with the big black shoes and the great expression. Also special is the tall one in the back, who has such a relaxed and kindly sort of look in [...]
