Traditions are what make holidays personal and special.
I have been collecting "Santa on Animals" for many years.
When I could never find my favorite animal,
a sheep with Santa riding on it's back,
my daughter Kate made one for me.
Thus began one of my dearest holiday traditions.
For the past several years,
Kate has gifted me a new addition to my collection.
This year I got "Santa on a Cow!"
Isn't she a charmer?
She's right at home with the rest of the crowd.
As if this wasn't enough to thrill her Mom,
Kate also gifted me with a clay "Pinky"
to add to my flock.
If you're a regular visitor here,
you know about "Pinky."
Thank you, darling girl Kate!

What a special collection. I love seeing Santa "arrive" on the various animals. And, to have so many made for you by your daughter makes them extra special.
Best,
Bonnie
I love your collection! Never thought about Santa on animals. I am not sure I have seen very many - if any - that I can remember. However, now that I have seen YOUR collection I bet I take more notice!
Happy New Year!
What a thoughtful, wonderful gift/tradition. What fun. You MIGHT find Santa on a cow in REAL LIFE here in Wisconsin!;>) xo Diana
Oh, that Kate is a keeper for sure (as if you didn't know that!!). LOL! What a wonderful gift that goes right to the heart. I LOVE the one she made you on the sheep, too! Happy New Year, Susan!! blessings ~ tanna
What a fun and wonderful way to start a tradition that will go on thru your grands, I'm sure.
Kate is a sweetie, for sure.
I am crazy for the Santa on animals....great idea.
