Carol from Old Glory Cottage challenged me to see my collections of Santas. I decided I had better narrow this category down as Santa is big in my house. For this post I decided to showcase my collection of Santa heads.
Most of these heads are plastic or styrofoam and are all a head shot. I have quite a variety of the handsome fellow. Most of them hang in my basement on a bank of cabinet doors.
This Santa is made of styrofoam and is over two foot tall.
This fellow is made of some sort of pressed straw and I love his look. He is over two feet tall.
I was the winner on Ebay a few years ago and won this plastic fellow that lights up. He lives in the stairwell to the basement and provides a friendly glow.
Made of a thin plastic.
This smiling Santa is made of plastic and is over two feet. This is one of the first Santa heads that I found.
This Santa was produced in a plastic.
His twin was produced in Styrofoam.
A set of rudolph like nosed Santas that are a thin plastic.
(Styrofroam)
I found this light up Santa this year at a church sale.
This is the smallest Santa head in my basement. He is made of plastic and is about a foot tall
Some of my hardier Santas can live outside and withstand the elements. This head is over three feet tall and hangs on the front of my house. I braked quickly when I saw him a couple of years ago in the window of a local antique store.
I don't know what happened to this nose. This fellow was gifted to me.
Two of these Santas hang on my front porch.
And last but not least, one more smiling Santa.
I really do have a love affair with Santa. Here are those last few fellows decorating the front of my house. If you look closely you can also see the Kringle gang. Kris is peeking out of the skinny window to the left of the Christmas tree. Clause is on the front porch and Nick is near my front door.
Ho, Ho, Ho!!!! If you have an idea for a future collection challenge, leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of _____." I will see what I can find in my goodies.
Thanks for sharing your pics!
Just love having my morning coffee with your blog. I love Christmas....your house looks so wonderful all decked out with the Santas.
Have a great day.
Kind of makes me want to say
Ho Ho Ho :-)

You live at Santa Land! The collection is just wonderful. I love that they all have a different face and the 11th one down with the bright blue eyes is my favorite. Will you show us the rest of your santas?

Hmmmm ... I'm not a medical professional, but the Santa with the white nose appears to have frostbite. They all appear to be very cute!

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Your Santas are amazing. So much so that I cannot pick a favorite. Enjoy every minute this season with them...smiles...Renee

Oh my gosh, the one thing I ALWAYS look for and have not yet found! My great grandparents had a big santa head and it was the only decoration they ever put up (besides the tree) in their front window every year. I WILL find one one day :) Love your collection!

I just love seeing your front porch all decked with your special collection. It's just delightful. Your neighbors must love it. We took Josie to see Santa this evening. She was so excited waiting in line, she was spinning in circles. Too fun!

Oh, I love your "Christmas Cottage" and I'm sure your neighbors do as well! What a piece of luck for anyone who lives next door to Magpie Ethel.

FUN!! How about showing us your Holiday vintage jewelry? Reindeer pins? Snowmen? Trees? You must have some stashed away ;)

Love, love all your santas! My fire place mantle is covered in santas..mainly old world type.
I saw something different on my way home last night. There was a small pickup on the road ahead of me and in the back was a blow mold santa all LIT UP!! I have to say seeing that really made me smile!

Wonderful collection!!!

This is some serious Santa madness! (especially given some of them have some wacky expressions but who can blame them?) The big light up guy looking out your window is incredible. The kids in your neighborhood must go nuts over your porch.

What a wonderful collection! I collect the small flocked ones, and my husband lets me get away with those, but he'd never let me get away with these fantastic large ones!
