Working on Christmas

This is part of my Santa collection. I have never decorated a lot. Having Santa figurines on display is an easy way to get the traditional colors out. After we bake, we'll have the cookies on the buffet under the top shelf. I'll fill the Santa mugs and tins with treats and hand them out if I get company.

My husband and I bought the buffet in 1971, as our first piece of furniture after we got married. Lots of memories in one corner of the house.

I repurposed it. I have a smaller tree and use smaller ornaments. I loved the big ornaments, glad to have them out.

Thank you
