This past Christmas I decided that I wanted to start collecting old plastic Santas. My cousins had one when we were growing up and I’ve always loved it.

“What if it ends up like the pig collection?” people asked.

Well then I will put them all on the front lawn and it will be a Terra Cotta Army of Santas! how cool would that be?  and what’s the matter with my pigs anyway??

on my way to work today I found my first soldier!  He was sitting in a trash pile by the side of the road — lucky, lucky, lucky!

….. do I really need to write a blog post for further explanation?

It was totally worth it just for having the groceries brought into the house and put on the kitchen table!

OMG I am positively giddy with it all!
