Very nice. I especially like the ones where he's not wearing the red suit and specifically the one with the donkey foal.

I like that you talked Santa into using his workshop to make duck decoys for Uncle Aloysius.

I like the one where's he's dressed in the plain brown robe ... no ornamentation.
It's very earthy and natural. =)

I think Santa had to start wearing red because of his close proximitey to reindeer...and hunting season.

Merry Christmas

I love these and wish people who make new Santa cards/etc would remember the simplicity of old Santa.

and I agree, I like that Santa didn't always wear red. Or had Rudolph around.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas Aunty!! xoxoo

A lovely homage

God Bless you and all the fine Clanfolk this Christmas.

Hi Aunty,my faves are Santa in green sleeping by the hearth and of course the puppies and kitties sleeping on his big belly!

Sorry if I've not been 'around' lately but you'll be happy to know I've been very busy with my work and am busier than ever. Not even had time to write my own blog!

I wanted to wish you and Uncle the Merriest of Christmases and hope your weekend is filled with fine food and good company! All the best to you in 2012.

Merry Christmas Aunty Belle,

Hope you and uncle enjoy your full house and have a wonderful time.

I like the one in the green.

grins said...

My wife says I look like the last one most of the time.

R.Powers said...

Merry Christmas Aunty, Uncle, and the whole clan!

Doom said...

I just enjoy my traditional, to me, Santa in red. I have so few traditions otherwise.

Merry Christmas.

Princess said...

Dear Aunty,
May your Christmas be joy filled.

I think Santa's red suit became more prominent when the "red can cola company" adopted him as part of an advertising campaign where a grey haired old man with a beard dressed in a red suit started appearing on the sides of their delivery trucks...

I love these cards without all the hype... but please... give me a nativity scene any day!

Aunty Belle said...

Chickory!!
Sorry I skipped ya--we posted at the same time--Merry to you, wee Pup. I can see why you an Santa are tight. Youse been off the naughty list now fer eons--or if not neither me nor Santa wanna know. Gerhahahahaha!

Boxer-Babe!

A joyous day I hope y'all have--mebbe Santa left somethin' in yore stockin'? Uncommercial cards--it's a trend we can start!

Fishy!

Speaking of visual presents, bring us loads from that gracious city, Charleston. Merry Christmas to you, Mermaid an' Blowfish.

La Diva C!!
Chile, is ya hustlin' yore bustle? I can jes' see ya flyin' around Mee-ah-mee. Reckon Santa ought bring ya some skates!! Merry Christmas to La Diva an' her DJ!

Moi,
I hope the snow be sparkly, soft an' pure, your birds not ice-sculptures, the dawgs content, an' new boots in yore staockin'. Merry Christmas to Moi, Cherie an her SB!

Karl!

Sir, I thanky, an' return the felicitations wif' glee--hope all yore loved-ones are wif' ya' for the merriest Christmas ever!

Curmudgy!!

I suspected that--a tender fella under that red furry avatar is shure to be loved by creatures, the great an' the small. Merry Christmas, Curmudgy.

Gloria in Excelsis Deo!

Oh the red is fine, it's very cheery. I hope yore Christmas Day is peaceful, content an' full of JOY!

La Princessa!!

Yes, the rotund fella is a dear, but I join ya' in preferrin' a serene Nativity--that God would submit Himself to mankind at all, much less as a tiny babe--mah dear, THAT is the biggest mind-blower of all. Merry Christmas, Princess.

Hi Miz Bell and Uncle -

Hope you are having a lovely Christmas day. Interesting the different traditions and timeframes the cards you show represent.

We are having a blindingly bright blue sky day with plenty of feathered ornaments on the snow, and reindeer passing through.

Happiness to all.
