Holding up with a poinsettia with your back can get tiring - have you offered him a foot rub? He is so very cute – and he looks rather sloshed – I mean – satisfied!

I can see why you and he are such good friends. I have some special Christmas things like him, too...I bring them out, and it's "Oh, there you are! What did I do without you the other 11 months of the year? " and with them bring feelings of maybe a simpler, innocent time. Sweet post. I love Sitting Santa $1.39!

I have some special Christmas things like him, too…I bring them out, and it’s “Oh, there you are! What did I do without you the other 11 months of the year? ” and with them bring feelings of maybe a simpler, innocent time.

Sweet post.

I bought it my second married Christmas for 99 cents when I worked in a department store. That makes it 51 years old and my middle aged kids all love it. They played with it as children and they are going to share it after I die, by using it one year and then passing it to the next family for the next year. Who knew? Little things mean a lot!

My most special Chrismtas 'thing' is now my daughters - it's a 'Christmas Stocking' (a Santa and his Reindeer pillowcase) that my Mum and Dad bought for me when I was about 8, and it has sat under the tree every year since then. When Holly was born, it became her Christmas Stocking, and now she puts it out for Santa every year. I absolutely love that pillowcase. Everytime I unpack it, all my childhood Christmas' come rushing back! It's a magical Christmas Stocking, that's why!! :) What a wonderful Christmas post!

I think that it is SO important to remember where we came from and this Santa takes you back to that place. I think that is awesome. So many people throw out things they bought once they have money to buy better things. I love your Sitting Santa!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that story.

"Like Antique Daddy, I knew the second I laid eyes on him that I had to have him and that he was mine, mine, mine and that we would be together always!" Those are some sweet words, AM.

I have some friends like that too. It's an excellent reminder that great expense is not necessary for a great time, a great memory, and great friends. Sitting Santa $1.39 is quite charming.

It is wonderful the way something with such special memories attached becomes a part of our lives. I think that's why I'm having trouble tossing out some of the things I promised myself I wouldn't move with us this time. How can you throw those things away? So...I have a bazillion boxes.

I, too, have a very special, um, "thing" (for lack of a better word) that brings back wonderful memories for me every year. My "thing" is probably an antique...I have a picture of my brother holding me when I was one, and this "thing" is in the background next to our aluminum Christmas tree (yikes). I inherited it after my mom died almost 22 years ago. It's a large brandy glass decorated like a Santa/snowman with a syrofoam head...you fill the glass with candy, such as Christmas Hershey kisses, and you lift the head of the Santa/snowman to get them. It is very weird looking, and I've never seen another one like it. But as you said, it is like an old, cherished friend come to visit every Christmas, bringing back wonderful memories and comforting feelings every time I pull it out of it's original box (with my mom's writing on it). Your Sitting Santa is adorable! May you have many more years with him. Take good care, Lisa This post is so sweet.
