I'm so bad this year...it seems that ever since my Momma had her stroke last December...I've lost track of life. She's doing remarkable now and life is getting more back to normal. Your SANTA collection is probably THE MOST significant collection I've ever seen and I have seen MANY collections. For 15 years I worked for "Christmas Around the World" and loved representing the company. My guess is if I looked long enough, I may even find one of my ole Santa's in your collection. ;) Your trees are SPECTACULAR! Wow - I did an Open House last year for our Garden Club for the Holidays and it took me two months to decorate all my rooms. This looks like it could have taken you THREE months... ENJOY!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours! ;) ~CC Catherine~CC Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792691562262851929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-20291524814220842922011-12-13T13:57:12.388-06:002011-12-13T13:57:12.388-06:00Girl, ya have the most amazin' Santa collectio...Girl, ya have the most amazin' Santa collection I've ever laid eyes on.

(You're right about people giving them to you when you start collecting. I'm selfishly glad that they do give them to you, though. )<br /><br />My favorite part is that shelf just FULL of Santas.
