santa!
a few weeks ago i decided that the only xmas decoration i wanted to put up was a plastic santa: a big one, that lights up. and he would hang out in my house. i found this one at menards, and i plugged him into a timer so when i get home from work he’s already lit up and warming up the house. i’ll miss him when he goes into storage.
so… this is my last post of the year: i’m taking some time off to rest and recharge and read, and to start making things for me. and i’m going to take a quick trip to the west coast to be somewhere new. hope you’re able to find some time for yourself in the holiday madness.
happy holidays, see you in 2010!

He’s so cheery! I told my mom about him and it made her smile. I can’t believe you’re taking another trip – JEALOUS.

I LOVE him!! He looks just like the one my grandfather used to put up on the roof next to the chimney. Ah, fond, fond memories of Christmases at their home.
Thanks for the flashback. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Are you sure you did not steal that from the people down the street? They have a few to spare. Actually, I like the dual purpose, Christmas cheer + a source of heat.
Have a wonderful trip, nice stumbling by you this year.

looking forward to trip news and so glad you’re taking a break. tacky santa looks so not tacky in your cute little house.

That is the BEST!! damn Christmas decoration EVER!! I think for the first time I’ve realized how much I hate holiday decorating. Because truthfully I just think most of it looks tacky – at least in the way I can pull it off – tacky, tacky, tacky. Whereas Mr. Claus there is the perfect combination of glowing and festive!
How was Seattle?

Jen, I meant to tell you when you were here how much I love this post and decoration. When I was a kid, my dad had one of these lit up on our back porch, so that when we were coming down the road we saw it! That is so wonderful that you have one of your own!!! Can’t wait to see some Seattle pics! OXO
