Nearly time for Santa to go

Yep! I think it is time....he's quite the fancy fella....from the shop? Or did you design him?

I think this one was one I bought from Walmart in the after Christmas sale one year, but I liked how he looked so woodsy.
He'll be going away along with everything else when we get to Epiphany next week and the end of the twelve days of Christmas.

See you next year Santa.

I like having the house decorated, but I also like getting back to normal after 2/3 weeks of it all!
Bye bye, Santa, 'till next year!

I'm really looking forward to putting everything away again now. Luckily I'm not working next Tuesday so I'll have most of the day to do just that.

Are you sure it isn't one of those guinea pigs that you forced dressed to look like Santa. I know you are to refined of a lady to shop Wallymart! lol

Dexter or Dougall?

I only hit Wallymart weekday mornings when it isn't stupid busy - there's one not far from here.
And no, not the guinea pigs. As we speak Dexter is eating his carrots and Dougall is having his butt hair trimmed!

Lovely Santa. I've still got mine out too. I collect this type, Father Christmas I call him. More like a jolly woodsman, puts me in mind of the season and giving rather than the red, which makes me think of excess and sweets. He's great.

I always used to call him Father Christmas in England, I think I've been in Canada too long now and see him called Santa everywhere so fell into that instead!
