Ho Ho Ho!

We took our granddaughter to Kraynak's in Hermitage, PA that it best known for their Christmas Land and Easter Land displays. I saw this life sized Santa that has an incredibly realistic face.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
Wow...I thought he WAS real! How wonderful!!! Such a great capture .. ho! ho! ho!

That is wonderful...what a great Santa.They have captured humour, wisdom and empathy in that face.

Oh, wow--I thought he was real, too! Great photo of a wonderfully crafted face sculpture! (Although I think he could be the real Santa--he come to life when no one is looking...)

Just in case you might be interested in having one of your own, the price tag on Santa was $1198.00!

Wonderful capture, Skip. We went to Kraynaks last week. They sure had a lot of Christmas stuff and I enjoyed the displays.

@kwind Thank you very much Kim! It was a bright spot this morning when I took some time to check in on a few projects and was touched by your collage. Your family looks so happy together! Kennedy is turning into a beautiful young woman and Gage into a handsome young man! Great job Mom and Dad in raising two amazing children!

Like Kim, I just read your update. What a hard time for you and your family -- especially during the holidays, but clearly for the long term. I'm so sorry to read about your losses. Focusing on your family is the right thing to do, of course! In the meantime, all the best to you and thank you for taking the time you have to comment on my photos.
