Jolly Old St. Nicholas

I have been collecting Santa Clauses for years.  This is a small sampling of that collection.  

Jolly Old St. Nicholas

Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way

Don't you tell a single soul, What I'm going to say;

Christmas Eve is coming soon; Now, you dear old man,

Whisper what you'll bring to me: Tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve, When I'm fast asleep,

Down the chimney broad and black, With your pack you'll creep;

All the stockings you will find Hanging in a row;

Mine will be the shortest one, You'll be sure to know.

This Santa is not in my collection, but I just had to share.

This is a beautiful Santa necklace that my friend, Rosemary, was wearing at a Christmas luncheon last week.  When I asked here were she got it, I was blown away when she said she had painted it.

Sorry this is a little fuzzy.

You are one talented lady, Rosemary!  

Love your smile!
