These are my three favorite Christmas decorations. Homer Claus is my favorite for two reasons. One, I got a screaming deal on him. I bought him one January at an after Christmas sale. Two, it was an attempt to get Kile excited about putting up Christmas decorations. Although he did not get as excited as I would have hoped, Homer is one thing that I can always count on getting put up.
The Santa Christmas card is another favorite. Kile's Aunt Faye cross-stitched this for us many years ago. She passed away when Kiley was a baby, so this is a great way to remember her during the holiday season. It sits on our piano in the same spot every year.
Now my most favorite! The Santa hanging on the tree air freshener has been with us for 18 years and is my very favorite Christmas decoration of all time. When Kile and I got married we lived in a basement apartment in Logan. In the corner of the apartment, there was a plant hook hanging from the ceiling. I don't remember it smelling bad in the apartment, but for some reason Kile hung this tree air freshener on the hook in the corner. When Christmas time rolled around Kile clipped this little Santa onto the tree. We laughed and laughed it was so funny.(probably just to us) Anyway, this decoration has been" beautifully" displayed each year in our home. It hangs on the ceiling fan in the front room. It is so funny to see the look on people's faces when they see it and ask us about it. I love to retell the story of how this decoration came to be.

I think the preschool kids really love Homer too! At least making him go up and down.
I can't even imagine why Santa Homer was still left in January! (:
I like hearing about your fun memories!
You just can't beat a good Homer Clause. Love him!
