Who's afraid of Santa?

I found this web site where a photo gallery has been posted - apparently some years ago, a Chicago newspaper asked for family photos showing people afraid of Santa. This is number 7 in that series.

I chose it because of the look on Santa's face. Did the Santa's of your childhood have martini lunches? That's what it looks like to me.......

Here's the link to the gallery:

Wooden Santa imported from Russia

Wooden Carved Santa imported from Russia

This hand-carved wooden Santa Claus is almost 11 inches tall, carved from lime-tree, and imported from Moscow, Russia. Hand painted by a professional Russian artisan. The Russian craftsmen routinely cover these finished carvings with glitter and several layers of crystal clear lacquer (to make the coloring last for years). Festive pattern coat gives the Santa its gorgeous Christmas look. If there's someone you know who collects fine Santa figures, this is one they won't want to miss.
Price: 224.49 from Russian Legacy, Inc.

One of my treasured Santas from my collection

I took some pictures of my own personal favorite. This small figurine comes apart so that you can put an incense cone under the woodstove. The whole thing is made of resin or some lightweight plastic. I found it in a little antique shop in downtown Loveland Colorado many years ago and it's the first one unwrapped and displayed every year.
