You really DO love Santa! What a cool collection, and fun to see your house. How about a shot of your front door? I'd love that! :)

My mom used to collect santas. Although a little perverse, I loved the really skinny ones. Not so jolly, but kind, I think.

What a beautiful collection! I hope your Christmas went well and your family felt the spirit of the day. Thanks for letting me know your husband will find my book handy in helping with his teaching--I love to hear things like that!

I only seem to collect elementary school Christmas crafts, so it's fun to see my options aren't so limited.
Merry Christmas!
