Santa Claus

When I was six years old I inquired as to why we had no Santa Claus ornaments. We had angels, stars, Winne the Pooh, a rattle, and Wonder Woman; but no St. Nick. Apparently I must have gone on about this a lot or my parents thought it was cute and told everyone about it. That year I received around 6 or 7 Santa Claus Ornaments. And a collection was started.

I have my first tree this year. Turns out I have about 50 or so ornaments and 5 of them are not Santa Clauses. (Is that the correct plural of Santa Claus?) Anyway I truly enjoy Christmas ornaments & really like good Santa Claus ones.

I went to an ornament exchange for our annual P.E.O. Holiday Party. I almost came home with a kickin' large red ball ornament with a sparkly Santa belt around the middle. Loved it. It was then stolen from me as is the nature of ornament exchanges. I came home with a beautiful ivory and gold ball with a music motif from the CSO. And I'm a little more disappointed that I didn't get the red Santa Claus ball than I should be. It's a ornament. I could buy it myself.

Sigh.

I have a Santa Claus big round ball ornament. I know, you're jealous. I'm not sure I'd describe it as "kickin" large, but it's pretty cute.
