The Many Faces of Santa


There are all kinds of Santas.



While on vacation in Colorado, happily walking around in one of my favorite kinds of shops, The Christmas Shoppe, 332 E. Elkhorn Avenue (I even loved the name of the street!) in Estes Park, it was impossible to keep from snapping photos of numerous Santas.




Some have serious expressions, some are just super jolly.


Snap. Snap. Snap. 




Finally, I explained to the manager the reason for snapping photos. She seemed elated  the Santas would be shown to the dear readers of  this blog.


So here eight sweet Santas, all for you!  ho ho ho



DO YOU HAVE MANY SANTAS IN YOUR HOUSE?

These are some great Santas. I have quite a few, but this year I only set out a few. My mother in law made me a couple of Father Christmases a few years ago,but I only set out one this year. Less is more....

I have a huge light up Santa out in the front yard right now welcoming people to my house for the holidays. I LOVE all the Santas pictured.

Dear Susan,

I'm your newest follower. I'm delighted to meet you from Blogging Sisters and look forward to getting to know you.

So, we must pick one Santa from the 8, I must choose Santa #7. I love his whimsical, happy, hopeful eyes!

All of beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Blessings,
Donna

PS - I dare not count all of the Santas out this year!

I have a few Santa's and put out one or two each year. I really like Santa #2, very old world looking! Thanks for showing us these wonderful Santa's! hugs, Linda

I like 6 and 7. I like Donna's description of "hopeful" eyes for number 7. My parents were to retire to Estes Park and had property there. Then my dad left my mom and that was that. She got the property but had to sell it cheaply at the time just to have money. Such a shame. Happy holidays to you, Susan. Tammy

I LOVE Santa's in fact I have more Santa's then anything else on my tree.

I like number one the best. But they are all just gorgeous! Bet they were expensive too.
