I laughed out loud when I saw your "small" Santa collection. I'm about to show "a few" of mine, and you make mine look small. I think your trees are beautiful...both of them! I have 3 full size trees, 1 small one, and I didn't put another 2 up this year - in the house we live in full-time. My husband says it looks like Christmas threw up all over our house & that I need to form & join Christmasaholics Anonymous. He just doesn't know I didn't drag it all out this year! :O) We'll be ok....now, I need to see if I can't get your Santa collection nominated for Country Living magazine. I'd love to see it in person. I love that stuff! Love your nativities too!Tardevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415443004772031661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-36752415815604873592008-12-14T19:44:00.000-06:002008-12-14T19:44:00.000-06:00This is so stunning and gorgeous, I swooned.

And then, when I saw the bookshelves with the Santa collection, my pulse sped up and I had to go eat butterscotch fudge. How fabulous! It's the best idea I've ever seen in my life.
