I Love Santa! Yes I Do!

I do know that 

Jesus is the Reason

for the Season...so

don't be hate mailing me

that I also love Santa.

I believed in Santa until

I was 12.  Actually, I 

STILL  BELIEVE  IN SANTA.

I have collected them

for about 40 years.

This year I gave a large 

portion of my Santa collection

to my kids.

However, I kept a few of

my favorites.

This is one of my

VERY FAVORITES.

A sugared Santa..

that hangs at the bottom

of my plate display piece

by my kitchen sink.

Yeah- Yeah-Yeah-

I know- poor lighting...sorry...

Is he cute, or what?

Then, I have this Santa..

a Fitz & Floyd set

with reindeer candle holder.

You can see the children's 

The Christmas story propped up

waiting for little CJK.

I got one for each family.

My daughter, Mimi, cross-stitched

this for me when she was in college.

When my kids were little

screaming monsters

I used to do some folk art painting

to "escape".  

I sold a ton of these at craft fairs

over the years.

These were done on SLATES!

I take my big chalk board down

and replace it with these

on one of our kitchen walls.

I have actually been thinking

about taking up painting again....

I think I would like to use

a live model this time.

Oh-Sorry- Must go-

My doorbell is 

ringing and my Santa model

is here.

Hope YOU have a happy day, too!
