Wanted: The Kringle Gang

I recently rounded up the latest member of the Kringle Gang. He was found lurking in Amy's booth (Into Vintage) at the Plucky Maiden show last weekend.

This is Nick.

That makes three members of the Kringle Gang that have been apprehended.

This is Kris.

This is Clause.

I am sure there are other members of this gang that need to be rounded up.  Gang members are made of of wood or particle board and are disguised as Santa cutouts.  Most have been around for awhile and some of them have seen better days. Don't let their charm fool you...even if they give you that friendly wave.

This trio of the Kringle gang will spend the rest of their days at my house.  Their mischievous days are behind them.

I am always on the lookout for more...wanting to make the world a safer place by nabbing these fellows up and keeping a close eye on them during the holiday season.

Happy Day!

I just have to say the one you apprehended from Amy is the most fabulous. The U*L*T*I*M*A*T*E Santa!

Hi Laurie love these guys what a divine trio ! Happy hunting for others to keep them company and make sure to let us see. I live my vintage dreams through ladies like you and Elizabeth (Grandmother's Attic) and I'm so excited she sent me an invite to an open house so I get to reallllly see all her fun things ! I might have to sneak in a camera :) E in TN

What a happy bunch! They certainly will have fun together at your house.

NO YOU DID NOT! I have told Amy that I would be over there to pick him up. It has just taken me longer than I anticipated to get to the coast. Well, I guess he can stay with you ( the ultimate Holiday House) for a while...Is he not just amazing. It is like have a Woolworth Santa in your home. Thanks for the rescue ladies. He just makes me smile...Renee

I must have just missed you at Plucky because I saw in the distance that Nick was leaving the building. Be careful with that trio...I've heard they run around when you are sleeping.

How fun! The gang look like they're in pretty good shape too. They're lucky they get to be at your house for the holidays :-)
I love the wood cut-outs. We had a Coca-Cola Santa looking one that was pretty messed up......wish we would've kept him now :-(
I do have a snowgirl made out of wood that lives in the house year round.
Hmmmm....wonder if the Santas will find the wood reindeer you have LOL

Oh my gosh!!! I have at least three of your gang members hanging out in my attic! I think I just might have the twin of your first guy up there hiding in a corner. I also have their leader who is a life size moving (when his motor is kicking in) Santa who I believe was formerly housed in a department store. My daughter finds him rather terrifying whenever she goes into the attic. I guess he serves a purpose as she quickly retreats from the attic.
I love the large old Santas-I guess I can be a halfway house for them as they make their way to your home across the country. It is nice to know that there a network in place to look out for these jolly gang members!

Thanks for keeping the streets safe for the rest of us and providing a warm and caring environment where these fellows can be with their own kind.

I'll keep my eyes open. I feel like it's my civic duty.
