FUN – for the 2021 Holiday Photography Challenge (See sidebar for full list.).
Every year, when I pull out the Christmas decorations from their boxes (where I have stowed them in a Tetrus-like formation under the stairs), I’m pleased to find forgotten favorites.
And there’s nothing like having a grandchild to add extra delight to these surprises.
Recently, this little nesting Santa set was the main attraction for much longer than a toddler’s attention span usually offers.
Based on the matryoshka, or Russian nesting doll, this decoration (perhaps more aptly called a toy) has been in our family for nearly 30 years. He’s now entertaining a new generation.
That’s one of the wonderful things about Christmas treasures.
After Christmas, I’ll pack this Santa set up (along with our other Christmas decorations and books and dishes and other special items). They’ll stay tucked away in their tissue papers or bubble wraps and boxes till Thanksgiving weekend next year.
Then they will all be new again. What fun!
