\"christmas-daywm\"We are all about recycling, and living the recycling lifestyle has also given us an abundant lifestyle especially at Christmas. And especially where collecting Santas is concerned. \u00a0What started as a little collection to add some color on the sideboard at Christmas grew to over 100 Santa ornaments in no time.\u00a0 How do you create such an abundant display of Santas?\u00a0 Well, it’s almost all secondhand thrift shop finds and a few are gifts from friends who knew I’d been collecting. \u00a0In the spirit of Christmas and the spirit of recycling I’ve decided to recycle some of my old posts about Christmas. \u00a0Three years ago I spent some time for every day for the 25 Days before Christmas making up little vignettes of my huge Santa ornament collection. \u00a0Today, to make it much easier to view, I’ve decided to replace and recyle those posts and put all the collection on one post. Starting with my \u00a0fave Grumpy Santas and ending with my other faves, the Gumby Santas. \u00a0Enjoy….<\/p>\n
