I think it may have been all those cookies that children left for Santa that changed him from a small man to the one we know today! In an article in our paper this past weekend, a man told a story about finding out that there was no Santa Claus from some friends and when he went to his grandpa to confirm it, his grandpa said, "If you believe in your heart that Santa exists, he does." And as for me, I still believe! terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-51749463653894029082013-12-23T06:33:43.304-08:002013-12-23T06:33:43.304-08:00And by the way Dotti - Your Xmas card was the insp...And by the way Dotti - Your Xmas card was the inspiration for pic # 3!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-53192992052912800122013-12-23T06:31:01.952-08:002013-12-23T06:31:01.952-08:00Dotti - I so agree.

I never warmed up to it because it seemed commercial - and now I realize why! So I will honor him for the history he represents, (but I still like the old timey ones too!)

I love your St. Nicks! I have a pretty good sized collection of St. Nicks and always love to unwrap them each year and greet them again, they're like old friends. But, yikes! Leave it to Coke to introduce us to the modern {mostly commercial} Santa Claus. That sort of taints it for me ... I like the old-timey legends better.
