A Touch of Red……

I started collecting Santas many years ago. It's not a very unique collection - lots of people gather Santas for the holidays. Dave and I had fun finding different shapes, sizes and personalities. At one point we had well over 100.

Then we moved onto the boat and I only kept the best of the best. Once we came back to being "dirt dwellers" I started again…..adding just a touch of red to our decor starting in early December. It's just a happy thing to do as the days outside get shorter. The leaves are off the trees and everything in the mid-west just looks grey and brown. With a little red the inside of our house/condo gets a little brighter.

And decorating our new space for the first time this holiday season it's fun to put our familiar Santas in new places and group them in slightly different arrangements. They all seem new again. They sit on the dining room table, on the fireplace mantel. They perch on a book case and surround the television. They are happily bringing color to all corners of our condo.

Happy Holidays - Happy Santas!
