Santas and People

I've already mentioned that I have an extensive collection of santas. What makes this collection so interesting is the uniqueness of each santa. They have personalities just like everyday men.


I have traditional 'European' looking santas with longer less tame beards and wise faces.


Some are more folkloric looking, made of natural fibers, and appear full of vigour.



Then there are the funny jovial santas full of laughter and joy breezing through all the Christmas festivities without a single complaint, ache, or frown.



And lastly the wise and sage santa who has visited us year after year carrying the responsibility of making us (as children) feel some joy in our lives regardless of the troubled times we may live in.

All the santas represent snippets of life, where we have been and where we are, leaving us with hope and tradition.
