Climbing Santas

When I was 12, I wrote a "book" about Christmas customs and imagery, illustrated with Christmas cards from a collection amassed by family and school. I was therefore very interested in this comment on the Christmas story itself, although I won't be going to see the movie.







It's interesting to see how some ideas and customs develop over time, for example when I was a child, Father Christmas was supposed to come down the chimney, but in these days of central heating it would appear he climbs up a rope, to judge by the decorations we see all over town.







And for some reason, this is sometimes in threes! The Wiz thinks they look like burglars..
