So ... I may or may have not mentioned before that I'm a collector. Mostly I'm just a collector of ... stuff ... but at this time of year, when collecting reaches OCD status, I actually try to set limits. (These limitations do not apply to the collecting of cookies and/or anything else with sugar and/or butter in it.) Several years ago I realized that I had quite a few Santas ... and voila ... a collection was born. (Collecting snowmen at that point was no longer an option.) The above announcement of Santas to come is part of another block exchange quilt, (although that particular square was done by moi.)
So ... what are your Christmas Collections?

Research suggests Santa Claus (US) wears red (as would the real Saint Nicholas who was a Catholic Bishop), Father Christmas (UK) wears green, and German and Dutch Saint Nicholas (merged with pagan god Odin) usually wears blue, though they all look similar and fit into Christmas celebration. So blue may not be as unusual as it seems--at least in Europe. But then anything blue is usually worth celebrating in your book.
p daddy- where do you get all your information?! I hope you had to look it up, but I suspect that all you had to do was reach into that filecabinet inside that huge brain of yours and pull out the facts. Though I am glad that you have that beautiful wife of yours to contribute the passion and artistic flair as in all colors blue.
