CHRISTMAS SANTA COLLECTION

 

Some of our Christmas Santas have come out to play. Yes, that's what I said. This is only part of the collection! I apologize for my centered text. I've tried to get it to stop centering about five times.

 

 

I began collecting Santas before I was married. Eventually, I decided that it would have to be a very special Santa for me to buy another one. 

 

 

 

That's when I started receiving them as gifts. 

 

 

So, the collection continued to grow. The collection is out of control. 

 

 

I do enjoy seeing each one of them when I bring them out for Christmas. 

 

I remember where and from whom each Santa came. 

 

 

Some of them belonged to my mother and some belonged to my husband's mother. 

 

 

 

I love all of the reminders of special friends and family members who originally owned the Santas. 

 

 

And I enjoy remembering special times with my sweetheart when we purchased a Santa. 

 

 

I'm displaying more of the Santas elsewhere, and I will try to post those pictures soon. 

 

 

I hope you don't remember that last week I said I was calling our Christmas mantel done (here). I should know better than to say that. I am always tweaking something in our home.

 

 

I have a friend, who has great decorating sense, and when she told me I needed something taller on the ends of the mantel, I tried it. She was right! I like it a lot better now, and it will stay this way until Christmas (maybe).
