Where is Santa Now?

I'm not big into Santa for decorating at Christmas time 

since I've always felt Jesus is the reason for the season, 

but this little fellow was a Secret Santa gift and he has always 

had his place in the decorating scheme.  Usually you

can find him sitting on the shelf over the washing machine

dangling his legs and keeping me company while I do laundry.

 

But lately he's been making the rounds and popping up 

in all sorts of places.  One day I found him on top 

of the mantel clock sitting dangerously close to

the lit candles.

 

I've noticed he seems to like high perches because I

found him yesterday straddling the rooster on top 

of the refrigerator.

 

Then I found him posing on the hutch with my

new piece of vintage red transfer ware.  Isn't

it a dandy? 

 I found him last week stuck in one of the 

brown transfer ware tea cups I recently picked

up at Goodwill.  He seems to have "a thing"

for transfer ware ~ a man after

my own heart.

But his most recent escapade was trying to come down the 

chimney, or maybe he just jumped off the mantel clock.

Anyways ~ he landed in a crock of poinsettas

sitting in my fireplace.  At least he had a soft landing.

 

It is hard not to adore this little guy ~ he's

such a character and has won my heart.

Where do you think he'll end up next?
