we collect Santas of all shapes and sizes and materials. Some of the Santas we have a very old, and some are handmade, and many are one of a kind. We have over 185 Santas now and these are just some of them.

The idea of Santa Claus delivering gifts for Christmas is a part of many cultures.

Some Santas deliver on foot and leave the presents in stockings by the front door.

In the United States, we have a traditon that Santa delivers gifts from a flying sleigh pulled by eight reindeer:

And he comes down the chimney to deliver the toys to all good girls and boys.

Rudolph came later, from a wonderful story by Robert L. Mays.
