Now it's time to say goodbye...


It's getting about that time...time to put away the vestiges of Christmas. Every year so much time and care is spent dragging these things out from the basement and garage, and every year we get to a point where we can't wait to get rid of it all. I'm not quite there...but almost. One of my favorite decorations is my Santa that I put on our front porch. He is weathered and maybe just a bit gnarly, but loved just the same. Every year we contemplate getting rid of him, but he still makes an appearance.

I really like your santa. He has lots of character. You can really see (and almost feel) the texture in this pic. Nice job!

great Santa. His weather beaten look kinda reflects that Christmas is done for another year.
