I use to have many more Santas. I left a large tote at my sons house when we moved and they are now enjoying them. They ran across it one year and asked if they could put them out. Fine with me, I have to start down sizing some day!! I enjoy them when I visit their home. I haven't put my soft Santa's out yet. Thinking of adding them to one of the guest bedrooms.
Who doesn't love Santa?

That's one of my favorite songs on my Raffi Christmas album. My family hated it so much that they literally threw away my cassette tape. Fortunately I found the album on iTunes and I can listen to my heart's content.
I love, love, love all your Santa's.
Your Santa collection is fabulous! One of several that caught my eye is the Santa noisemaker, that face!
Love your making merry...............
Wow....such a lovely collection of Santa's.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Cute post, Jann! I've always loved that song, so now I suspect I will be singing it for days. '-)
It's always fun to see the Santa figures that live among other's decorations. I have a slew of my own here at Hyacinths. I've given some away to my nieces through the years, but yet more seem to follow me home from time to time. Just last weekend I spied a group of small plastic ones from the 1950s in a favorite antique shop. They are now gathered in my Courtly Check gravy boat. Fun collection!
Jann you have a great Santa collection. I love the way it is displayed! Makes me ready to put out my vintage decor in the cubbies!
Jann, That is a wonderful collection of Santas. I love the postcard made into a picture. Hope you have a great weekend. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Dear Sweet Jann, what a marvelous collection and what fun to have them all displayed at Christmas. I am sure your guest spend joyful time looking them over. That noise maker is wonderful; I remember them from my childhood. Thanks for sharing :)
A wonderful collection of Santa's.
Some years I decorate the whole tree with nothing but santa ornaments.
Everything is lovely and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Jann, thanks so much for hosting another lovely party!
What a really great collection! Everything is so darned cute and yes, everyone loves Santa! I love that it's diverse -- flat art, carved, toys, even the needlepoint Santa! Someone clearly knows what to get you for Christmas!
You've got a wonderful collection of jolly old elves housed in your fabulous window cupboard, Jann! It's nice that you've shared part of your collection with family that can enjoy them, too. I'll be singing that song all day!
Love your collection of Santas! They are all unique and special. I have a huge collection of Santas and sadly I have not put them out in awhile. Cute song makes me want to dig them all out!
Oh How Ive missed visiting your blog...Thanks for the tour!
Blessings, Joanne
Love the Santa displays. I have quite a few Santa's I would display on my mantle when I had one. Now need to do inside a display cabinet.
I am singing that song now. Love the Santas. Tony and I are building up a lovely display of little Christmas trees
Love your Santas, Jann..AND your prose! I used to have a large Santa collection, too, and gave it to my kids a couple of years ago. I kept a few special ones but let the kids enjoy the rest of them. xo Diana
Jann,
LOVE all your Santas!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Looking forward to the party next week!!
Hugs,

Some fun little guys here. I love the different types of Santas and the green cabinet is a perfect place to showcase them. We have scaled back this year, just because of energy. We are pooped from the all house redo---but, slowly I think it will sprinkle back in. Grins, have a Merry Christmas...with all your Santas, they just make me smile. Said
Lots of darling Santas!!
Judy
Oh yes! Must be Santa! And must be my insatiable need to see what others have collected that puts me in such a festive mood when I come here to see your treasures! My fave is the very first one!
Love your Santa collections...they are the cutest..love the stacking ones!
