slo’s THURSDAY Christmas Week poll - Santas

[ronandannette]

I think Slo means Santa figurines or other non-hanging-ornament decorations.

Oh, OK then - we have 1; a vintage statue sort of thing that sits on top of a book case. Santa has never been a very prominent part of our Christmas celebrations.

I have a 9ft tree that is all Santa. Have never counted! More than 20 in our house for sure, And, I married Santa too.

My husband puts a life size dancing Santa by our front door. I never liked it. It doesn't dance any more so now I REALLY don't like it. It must go but I'm trying to be fair.

I have a ton! My mom collected them and I inherited hers, plus have added some of my own over time. I love taking them out every year.

I picked 7-9 but I'm not actually sure. My aunt collects Irish Santas and arranges them on the mantel of the basement fireplace. Off the top of my head I know there's one of him dancing with Mrs. Claus, one of him playing the fiddle, one of him enjoying a beer, etc. All the shades of green look really pretty.

Two. A Santa Cookie Jar and a Santa pillow.

There could always be an “accident,” such as with a leg lamp.

I said 4-6. I have a stand up Santa that my MIL got me. It isn’t someone thing I would get but because of memories of my niece and nephew with it when they were little I can’t bear to get rid of it. we have couple of ornaments with Santa and a stuffie which one of my girls must have gotten as a gift. I have lots of snowmen and reindeers more than actual Santas

 

[Diznotyzed]

We own over 20, but don't have as much room to display them as we used to. Currently have 4 on display.

 

[Metro West]

I don't have any.

 

[TipsyTraveler]

Just one. He climbs up and down a ladder carrying a strand of lights to the tree.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Just one, a Polish Santa. It was my mom’s.

 

[VandVsmama]

No Santas on display, but we do have these little tomte/nisse figures on display at Christmas time (Scandinavian elves, they look like tiny Santa's).

 

[goooof1]

6 gnome santas
1 plug in bubbling night light santa
several tree ornaments and a few that are not out on display.....one old one that has a small light on the base so it lights up inside.... (forgot about that one !)

 

[AppleDumpling]

Not counting ornaments, none.

 

[disney4us2002]

We have a few. I've collected snowmen for many years so I have those all over the house.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I went with "other" because I looked around and noticed we have no actual Santa figurines, stuffed Santas or anything like that. There are decorations w/Santa on it, so we are not anti-Santa or anything, just don't happen to have anything like that.

I’m guessing close to a dozen. My favorite is the 4 foot tall illuminated Santa made of 100% genuine plastic and cheaply painted. We got it at K-Mart about 15 years ago. We used to display it on the front stoop but it got knocked over a few too many times by passers-by who didn’t appreciate its magnificence. Now it’s displayed in the finished basement family room.

My wife has various Santas throughout the house, ranging in size from a few inches to about two feet.
