I went a different direction this year with you, opting for a cleaner, simpler, classier look. You are my new favorite.
When I saw you at TJ Maxx, I knew you were meant for me. You are just like our family (except in our family, mom is definitely not taller than dad... LOL!). You are perfect for us.
You are my absolute favorite. You always have been. My grandparents used to have a lot of you on their Christmas tree at the farm. Many of your brethren were faded and worn, after many years of faithful service. They gave me you, and I have taken very good care of you ever since. I always wrap you in a paper towel and place you gently in the ornament bin. You are very precious to me, which means you are always placed in a prominent, front-of-tree location.
You are one of Big Daddy's favorites. You make me smile.
This photo was taken the first time Emma met Santa. It was taken at the Greenwood Park Mall when Emma 11 months old. I love the way Emma and Santa are sizing each other up.
My mom was one of my Brownie troop leaders a long, long time ago; and one year they decided all the girls were going to make cross stitch Christmas ornaments. I already knew how to cross stitch, so making my ornament went smoothly. The same could not be said for the other Brownies. But I love the way you turned out and the way you bring a smile to my face every time I see you on my tree.
We had Mike already. Sully is new this year. It was Emma's brilliant idea to put you right next to each other on the tree, which is how you will henceforth be placed every year.
Dear wooden Santas,
My grandpa used to carve a new version of you every year. These are the Santas that I have. They are such a precious group. I keep three separate from the rest: 1) because they are my favorites, and 2) because they don't fit on top of the microwave.
