Santa in Shades of Pink



 A lot of people consider pink the color of choice.

It picks up the spirit and whirls it around like a merry-go-round. 

For decades, each Christmas season used to signal looking for Santa figures whenever shopping took place.

Those dressed in pink were  especially treasured when found and thrift shops often became places where one or two could be discovered.

No more.

Nope,  the Santa collection had to be massively cut down.

Some of the Santas have been given away and others still make the cut to be packed in plastic storage bins after Christmas.

This year, the small Santa dressed in pink made it to the top of a bookshelf.

He's a dapper looking fellow, guaranteed to fetch a smile or two from onlookers.

I only have a Santa tea pot and a Santa that sits on my fireplace which is small. I like the pink one...your favorite color. Glad he didn't get sold.

He certainly is a keeper. You know, I often find PINK things at Christmastime, and I have a few items of my own. Nel just bought me a small pink nutcracker to remember The Nutcracker we just saw at the theatre. I know how much you love pink too. It's always a joy to see your wonderful treasures, Susan. And the thrift shops are so much fun to browse through, aren't they?
