In 1984 I started working at Watsons Department store. Every week of the holiday season starting on black Friday they offered a different Santa .Each one represented a different year or country and came with a card that told about them.I continued to collect them over the years until a couple of years ago when the man that owned the company that made them passed away.They have always been on our Christmas tree as ornaments but this year I decided to give them a different home during the holidays.There are 71 total and we actually built little bleachers for them to stand on since they are all basically the same height,and they were very hard to see.They reminded me of a parade of Santas. I though about only putting out the favorites but every body in our family has a different favorite two or three so I might as well put them all out.We will just have to see how this new tradition works .

Your Santa's are adorable - what a clever idea arranging them on tiers. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your home looks lovely and I for one like the blue paint in your bedroom - almost the same shade I have in mine!
