santa

A reader asked if I would share some pictures of my Christmas decorations. I would love to!

These are pictures of my vintage Santas. Aaron thinks some of them look creepy, but I love the nostalgia they invoke.

These little plastic Santas in sleighs with reindeer are the best.

Ho, ho, ho!

I will have more pictures in the days to come AND pictures of this year's handmade gifts and trimmings.

    My grandmother had some of those Santas. Seeing them brings back memories.

    I'm with your husband on this one. Ever since I was little those Santa's creeped me out.

    My in-laws have a couple of creepy Santas...our favorite is the one ride a bicycle and it pants are coming off...ok that bad but it is sort of cute. They also have a creepy elf that we always put in the back of the tree because it is just that creepy.

    My grandma gave me a whole bunch like that but I won't put them up because they creep out my kids. I think they're cute now but I remember also being scared of them as a kid.

    In the first picture, is that a mushroom? Very cute!

    Man, now THAT is retro funk. :) I've seen many of those before over the years. My dad had these great felt ornament animals also with real fur... the lion had real fur mane, the deer had a tiny bit of fur on his tail, the squirrel's tail was fur. Soooo cute. They were my favorite things tucked in amoung the BUBBLE lights. Hahaha. My son has a creepy bubble light tree in his room with our reject ornaments on it that we can't bring ourselves to throw away yet. :)

    I want to subscribe to you and for some reason blogbridge is giving me a hard time. Can you email me your feed address, Jenny?

    I love those santas! I have one on my tree. My grandma passes recently and I took a few of her ornaments, my santa was one of them. I think they're adorable.
