I have so many Santas to display I've had to put some in the bathroom much to my DH's chagrin. Actually, they are in a dressing area outside of the bathroom...and can you imagine he told me I had way too many!!! Hmmph...what does he know??? LOL

Here's Santa & the Mrs. I love her dress & hairdo!

The left side of the vanity

I just had to do a closeup of this little ceramic box...Santa's face is so adorable!

And the right side of the vanity...

A long shot of the family room...

Wooden stocking holder I picked up in a garage sale a couple of years ago for $1. How could I resist...Dh's, grandson Evan's & my stocking ....

This big whopper Santa was an after Christmas buy at Walmart... I had my eye on him but wasn't willing to pay the $99. price...so got him 1/2 price the day after Christmas...yeah, he is another storage problem...
**
*
Now this is my all-time favorite Santa...got him in Alabama 10 years ago and again wasn't willing to pay the $80. price tag, so got him 1/2 price the day after Christmas sale....Click on picture to enlarge him and see his bald head shining in the mirror...LOL

And some of our old world Santa collection...so if Santa doesn't make it to your house this year it's because he's here at mine....
Thank you for coming by to see my Santa parade!

Your Santa parade is wonderful...the wooden stocking holder is so clever
I love all your Santas, Bo. I have a Santa in the powder room. Most years I have several in the bathrooms!
Don't you love those after Christmas bargains!
Well, you know I love the Santas - especially the big ones & the Santa & the Mrs. You even reminded me of one I HAVEN'T put out, as hard as that is to believe! Love the stockings too - yours is so fancy!!! LOL!
Oh, Bo
There really is a Santa; and lots of them. How awesome to have such a collection of them and they are so unique I don't have a favorite, they are all so.......I do believe in Santa.

What an amazing collection. Your Christmas stocking is just too cute for words..your after Christmas bargains..well they speak for themselves..they are incredible.. love, love, love them.. hugs ~lynne~
I love all your Santas - that's an awesome collection! One time I thought about hanging plates in my bathroom and my hubby had a cow! He could not relate.
I love the big Santa on your hearth. It cracked me up that you went the day after Christmas to get him. I've been eyeing stuff around town to run and get also.
Good Morning Bo, I love all your Sanatas! It would be hard for me to pick a favorite, but I love that big one from walmart!
I have to tell you...I teared up when I read your comment about Santa leaving us the dogs! I think your right, Bo!!!! Merry Christmas, nancy
Oh Bo! Your santa collection is just fantastic! LOVE it all, but especially Mrs. Claus, and that cute little victorian boot/stalking at the fireplace!
Nice to see someone else love Santa's! I don't think you can have too many. I think I pick up at least one new one every year....and I have a tree (one of my trees, lol) full of Santa ornaments!
Good morning Bo my friend, you kno if you have storage problems you could always send a couple of those beautiful Santa's to me!! I have been good this year, honest!. hehe,
I love them all and you are such a savvy shopper. I also like the chest the bald santa is sitting on, it looks so unique. but best of all I love the Santa with all three stockings!, have a wonderful day, big hugs, Kathy.
AMAZING.YOU'RE RIGHT.WHAT DOES A MAN KNOW ABOUT DECOR ANY WAY?HA.I LOVE ALL YOUR SANTAS.ESPECIALLY THE BALD ONE.IT JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO KISS HIS LITTLE HEAD DOESN'T IT?...ANN

Well if we ever need to find a cute Santa...we know where to shop!!! The best store in town..."Bo's house of Santas" I bet your hubby would even unlock the door so we could get in to do our shopping!!!

Hi Bo...I love all of your Santas! You have quite a collection! However...what I want to know is...what is the bald Santa standing on? Is that a chest? I must have it!!! Lock your door tonight if you want it to be there in the morning!...lol...
Debbie
We all know that husbands don't always get "it". You know best.
My Santas want to be friends with your Santas. Do we need to have a party?
Hi Bo! I have to agree! I love the big toy maker Santa the best. He is wonderful. I also love the chest he is on. Sweet!
~Liz
Your post just made me laugh, dear Bo! I guess you're right, Santa just may be hung up at your house this year! You have so many very beautiful Santas!! Don't you just love those 50% off Wal-Mart and Target sales? Practically every Christmas decoration I have was purchased at one of those sales.
Yep, you have a few Santas! Each one is very cute and pretty and I totally understand your need to put them everywhere!!
Hi Bo, I am late commenting today too. My sisters were here this morning and I didn't get to my computer until late today. I think you could use some more Santas. Smiling! I love them all but the big one checking his list is a real treasure. I also love the bald headed Santa. They are all fun and festive.
I am working on tomorrows post so I gotta run. There is peril here of me falling asleep at my computer if I wait to late.
Christmas love...Jeanne
I've never seen so many Santa's in one house! I think my bladder might get a little shy if I had that many Santa's looking at me in the bathroom! LOL! Seriously, they are all fabulous!
Wow, you sure do have alot of Santas! I have 1 wood carved santa & that's about it for santas. Hey, I'm hosting a Christmas Cookie REcipe Exchange on my blog, please come participate & please spread the word. Thanks bunches!!
Oh Bo, as a connoisseur of Santa's, I have to tell you that some of my favorite Santas reside in your home. What a wonderful collection you have. I loved seeing them. laurie
Hi Bo,
Your Santa's look great. I don't have too many, but love the look of a large group of them!
thanks for sharing,
Diane
Why, Bo...you have a cinch that Santa will be coming to YOUR cottage....he HAS to come by and visit with all his Santa Kin...:O)
Love love love the girly stocking...
xo bj
Why do hubbies not understand that there is no such thing as having too many Santas? lol
Merry Christmas and buy yourself another Santa the day after Christmas!
Hugs, Bridget
Your husband "thinks" you have too many Santas????!!!! Gasp! Really now, what do men know????!!!!!
Keep those Santas and keep adding I say. If it makes you happy, that should make hubby happy, right? RIGHT~!!
If I can't make it back before CHRISTmas I want to wish you a Merry CHRISTmas Bo and May our Lord bless you and keep you in the New Year.
Blessings,
Sher
Good morning Bo, we just got our lights back on after the ice we had last night. It's a winter wonderland out there. I had just said to dh this morning we are very lucky to have the 2 dogs we have. I couldn't have asked for a better stray to adopt me.. This dog is just so much joy. I hope you're having a super day..
hugs ~lynne~
Morning Bo,
You have a fabulous collection of Santa's!! How wonderful to have him all over your home. I don't understand why your hubby thinks you have too many...can you have too many? Not in my book!
I love the stockings!!!!! How cute!!! CHEERS! Michele
Hi Bo
Oh my you have such a large collection of Santas. Isn't it fun to find so many different treasures..and such treasures to take out with their memories each season.
I love the one by the fireplace...
have a lovely day
Judi
Hi Bo! I'm having such a good time with my family--I love it!
Hi Bo!
A girl can never have too many Santas! ;-)
I love all of yours! The really big ones are both really special, and it's great you were able to get them after Christmas for half off -- I love sales like that!
I know what you mean about storage -- I put all my Christmas items in large plastic crates and every year my husband has to carry them up and down a rickety pull down attic staircase. He keeps telling me to pare down as he's getting "too old" to do this, but every year I seem to add more! :-)
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Hugs, Pat
And thanks for the parade Bo. It is always a magical visit here.
Lisa & Alfie
Santas are beautiful no matter what, but when they are grouped they are flat out gorgeous. I'm going to start looking for more Santas!
Alright Bo! Here's your chance to hear me sing. LOL!!!! Deb
You home is just what I dreamed about as a small child. Santas everywhere. And that is what makes Christmas so special to us all. That heart of our inner child comes out.
Merry Christmas
Becky
Happy Pink Saturday! I'm so glad you enjoyed the vignette with the book etc. It was alot of fun to put together. The book is one of those cherished traditions brought out each year..
hugs ~lynne~
Hi Bo :)
I thought I had a lot of Santa's but you just ended that thought LOL Yours are all so cute!
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

Hey Bo, congrats on the giveaway win over at Coloradolady!
I love your extensive Santa collection! I recognize a few of your Santas as being the same as some that I have too.
My mother made a cute ceramic Santa for each of us many years ago when when was doing that sort of thing and we always put it near the tree or in some cute spot every year. I'll have to post a picture of it on my site sometime during this festive Christmas season.
My giveaway ends tonight so stop by enter. No Santa from me, just a little crocheted angel and some other Christmas-y things. Info is right on my sidebar.
Merry Christmas to you!

Love your display---I love Christmas as well and I have a huge collection of snowmen--I am coloralady's mom and was hoping she would display mine but I got the pictures to her too late and time has gotten away from us all and I don't think she will get them in this year --maybe next year. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas celebrating Jesus's birthday.

Merry Christmas to you & yours my dear friend! ♥
Wow! Do you have a storage unit for all the Santas? What an amazing collection. I'm impressed!
Have a wonderful Christmas and Businessman doesn't read my blog so no danger of him seeing what his gifts are!
Hello dear Bo, it has taken me all day ro respond to the kind comments about our Babette. My Bill was so wanting me to do this. He poured over photos for days. I am glad I did this but it was very emotional. I do know you feel the same way about your loss last April. We love our little members of our family so much. I think we can finally say goodbye now. She did have a long and happy life. Thank you again for your kind words and your hugs Bo. I needed them!!
Christmas love...Jeanne
Wow Bo! that is one huge Santa collection! Oh I love the one with the bald head! And I love how you have him displayed in the mirror! And that comode under him looks like a venetian palace!Love it! Vanna
BO, thanks for coming by and for keeping my new baby in your prayers..she had her heart surgery this morning..they are in Dallas at Children hospital..sorry it takes me so long to get back to you dear friend..Hope you and your family have a blessed and safe Christmas...hugs and smiles Gloria
What a wonderful collection!! I love how you displayed them,too. It must be so fun wandering 'round your home!!
Blessings and Merry Christmas!
Myrna
HI BO!!!! I am so glad I found your blog. I am a BIG Santa collector...have been for about 25 years now. I have them posted on RMS (have NO idea how to blog:):), so won't you please come see them and let me know what you think??? Please!!! MERRY Christmas to you and yours.... Pinky PS, I am szpinky at RMS. One of my posts is "The tree is up, the stockings are hung, and Santa is in his sleigh.... Hope you stop by!
Wow, you have 73 comments!!!! I love all your Santas! Maybe your husband is just jealous that you love Santa so much! LOL
Bo, I had to come back and tell you how moved Bill and I were with your sympathy over the loss of our Babette. I know you and Sonny miss your Sassy as much as we miss Babette.
This morning we too had a good cry when we looked at the post. Now I think we can say goodbye finally. We will never forget her but we must let go. I think you were right when you said they were probably prissing around together across the bridge. Poodles are absolutely 'prissy' Such a wonderful breed
Hugs and love to you both.
Dear Bo!! I receive those baskets of hugs and love with lots of joy! Now catch...I'm send some back to you! lol
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
All I can say is WOW!!!! That's a lot of Santas....All your decorations are just breathtaking! I'm glad you shared with all.
Hi Bo, You have a wonderful collection of Santas, they are all so beautiful! Thanks for all of your nice compliments on my blog, I really appreciate you! Have a Merry Christmas!! Kristen
Lovely collection.... I'm sure your little grandson love come and play with all your Santas... ;)
Merry Christmas and warm wishes from our house to yours, sweet Brown-eye Girl!

Wonder tour of Santas! Thanks for sharing, i especially liked the big one by the fireplace!
Bo, I am glad you got a kick out of the gators I posted. My dh was so happy I did that. He is a gator down to his toes.
I came be to tell you I am posting a greeting card to my friends tomorrow and then I won't be posting for a few days. Our daughter, my grandsons and their new dog Tanner will be here to visit after Christmas. I want to spend as much time with them as I can.
Christmas blessings to you and your family my sweet friend.

Love your santa collection, Bo! Your whole house is so festive, love it! Thanks for your nice comment and visit in my dining for 4 post. Merry Christmas to you and your family!...Christine
Good morning Bo. You are up early today. I just looked at my post and the picture was not sized right. I just fixed it.
Bo, thank you for the sweetest comment this morning. I must tell you the feeling is mutual. You are a treasured blogging friend. If we were living near each other I believe we would be best friends and hang out together. I would love that.
I am sending you and your hubby blessings and Merry Christmas greetings for a wonderful Christmas with your family.
Christmas love...Jeanne
I love your Santa collection Bo. I used to collect Santas too but one year in a mad simplifying binge I sold or gave them all away. Silly me! So I'll just enjoy looking at yours and I won't have to put them all away once Christmas is over.
Hugs, Rhondi
