This time of year one of my favorite things to do is to dig through my small stash of holiday decorations and wrapping materials in search of treasures. As I unwrap the breakables I am smiling and enjoying each of my little festive figures.Each one brings back memories of special people and the happy times we spent together over the years. This Santa is ceramic but he looks like carved wood. I imagine he's bringing this pine tree in from the woods.
Here are my other Santa figures plus a cute Santa mug. We had a set of Santa mugs when I was a kid, and when I found a pair at a garage sale a few years ago I was so happy !!
Besides Santa figures I also enjoy Snowmen. My siblings and I usually made Snowmen as part of our day of play after a big snowfall. We also sledded and made snow angels. Generally we got very cold and got some exercise, but that's not the part I remember as much.
Snowmen look jolly and happy I think. They wear nifty scarves and hats, and have carrot noses. Here are my little figures, which each year remind me of all the fun snow can be.I hope all my family and friends are enjoying their own holiday traditions this year and making lots of their own smiles.

What adorable little treasures. How could I have missed your post? I've been thinking of you. I talked to Noreen (NoraDora) and we remembered some of our old team (EtsyHookers) - hardly anyone from the old gang is still there - sometimes change is not good - not fun at all!
Bless you and hope you had a lovely Christmas.
Happy New year too :-)
