Vintage Santa Figurines

No one says Ho, Ho Ho better than Santa. He's definitely the go to guy on Christmas Eve. It used to be that every weatherman gave the status of Santa's travels, now NASA is using satellites to track his every move. My Mom tells me that in 1968, Astronaut Jim Lovell alerted the world on Christmas Day that they were leaving lunar orbit with, "Roger, please be informed there is a Santa Claus."

If you love the look of 1950s retro figurines, then vintage Lefton is probably what you're thinking of. I've seen so many different kinds of vintage Santa figurines by Lefton selling on ebay over the years. Everything from a Bassett Hound with a Christmas cap and candy cane in his mouth to a little white Maltese with a holly color. No dog lover would be able to resist either of these. There's a delightful one of Santa and Mrs. Santa sitting on a park bench.

Of course when you shop on ebay, the inventory is ever changing, so you never know what you're going to find there! That's part of the fun of shopping there. But if you see something you like be sure to note if it's a Buy It Now or Auction item. BINs can disappear at any moment.

There are traditional figurines that sit on your coffee table or in your curio cabinet and just look beautiful. Sometimes that's all we ask. In the case of Christmas figurines we often just want them to help us get in the mood for the Holiday Season. But often figurines can do so much more. They can be salt and pepper shakers and season our Christmas table with good cheer. They can be banks and help us save up for Xmas presents.

It seems as though Mickey Mouse is everywhere these days, including cavorting as Santa Clause. Those big Mickey ears make it tough to hide. Celebrate your love of Mickey Mouse or a recent trip to Disney. The familiar silhouette makes a fantastic decoration. Kids still really love Mickey. I think more because he's the honorary mayor of Disney, not because of the cartoons.

Mickey isn't the only Disney character to be a pretend Santa - even Winnie the Pooh and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs get into the act as well. Kids do love seeing their favorite characters in a variety of ways. It's always made me wonder why.

But truth be told, Mickey Mouse is Disney and his Santa figurines are indeed the most popular. You'll find hundreds of Mickey Santas to choose from. You can have just Mickey or you can pair Mickey with a reindeer. If Santa gets to have Mrs. Clause in some of his figurines, it's no surprise that Mickey has joined forces with Minnie Mouse to create a wonderful Christmas figurine. While Mickey and Disney certainly keep up with the times there are Old World Mickey Santa figurines, where you 'll see Mickey in a traditional Kris Kringle robe.
