Happy Christmas to you and your family... 💝🎄🎅🎄🎁🎄💝
My precious, dear friends, I cordially and with great love, with infinite gratitude, congratulate you on a new stage in our lives — and may the coming year be joyful and the happiest! May the wings of your dreams never fall, no matter what happens! May joy flow from your radiant, kind eyes! May the sky above your homes remain peaceful and cloudless! Let's spend the past year and greet the coming one with a smile and a sinking heart. May he bring to each of us what we have long dreamed of. May he be generous with joy, fun and positive events.

Smile on Saturday: STUFFED ANIMALS
I saw this inside a store window in the late 1970s in Manhattan in NYC. The store was out of business but these were the remains. The film is tri-x and the camera was either a pentax or a nikon. I don't remember anymore.
This is my first attempt at something called a “flatlay”! I’ve been wanting to try it for some time now, and decided today is the day....no Santa’s were harmed in the filming of this project, although some appear arthritic and old. That’s because they are! I love my vintage Santas, and think I’ve put them to good use.
Happy Christmas to you all!

La Noche de Reyes en las pasadas Navidades me acerqué a fotografiar un enorme Papá Noel que tienen colocado en la rotonda cercana a la parada de cercanías de Parque Polvoranca en el barrio leganense de Arroyo Culebro. Me entretuve un rato jugando con el zoom y el obturador, obteniendo unos resultados que me resultaron curiosos. Como en la fecha en que hice las fotos entendí que ya no procedía colgarlas he esperado hasta ahora para subirlas. Espero que os gusten.
¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!
Dear Editor—
I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O’Hanlon
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
