Gary (waitin4the train) and I had a discussion the other day about collectible Santa Claus figures. His wife Cheryl is a huge fam and has an extensive collection. Over the years, we have accumulated several and are really fun to bring our this time of year to display.
One in particular for us is too large to store away, so this Santa we get to enjoy all year. Not an issue for us because the layout reminds us of Christmas all year as well. This one is 6 1/2 ft. tall and Elizabeth completely redressed it after the Christmas season last year.
If you have collectible Santa Claus figures, please share them with us.

Santa's robe should just about fit me. I just have to let my hair and winter beard grow longer and I could stand in that corner. The Lady sure is talented!! Beautifully done Elizabeth.
Gary.

She sure is, Gary.
Will post another Santa today that she completely redressed as well.

This Santa is special. My wife and I were walking down main street in Saratoga, CA taking in all of the beautiful window displays during the Christmas season. We came across a shop that had this Santa as part of their diplay window. I recognized the artist as during me consulting career, giftware and retail were two market segments I worked with. We also collected Santa Claus figures. We went into this shop and spoke with the owner about selling it to us. She said as soon as the Christmas season was over and she takes down her Christmas window display, we could have it. Done deal
This was over 25 years ago, and Elizabeth wanted to freshen it up, so like the large Santa displayed above, she completely re-dressed this one.

We have this Santa and reindeer in the front hallway. I know that Santa prefers cookies but if he gets very hungry there's leftover Halloween candy for him to snack on.   |

Joe, very nice looking Santa figure, actually elegant. Thanks Brian. My wife found him at Home Goods about 2 weeks ago. We quickly decided he was coming home with us.

This time of year is so special for her. She embraces the Christmas season and makes every part of it special. Decorations have to be perfect.
