WINKING SANTA

A decision must be made.

What is the theme for the 2009 Santa?

A Winking Santa?

Santa is winking but some work needs to be done.

Well, sometimes a wood carver just has to do . . .

. . . what a woodcarver has to do.

This woodcarver had not carved a winking Santa before.

When you wink, what does it do to your face?

To your eye brows?

To your cheeks?
To your smile?

To your mustache?

To your winking eye?

Nothing else to do, but to see for myself - on myself.

Too many variables!
I decided to put the Winking Santa idea aside.

CHILD SANTA

How about a child Santa

with a

beard tied to the side of his cap?

That isn't a "True Santa"! Another idea tossed.

HOW ABOUT A MRS. SANTA CLAUS?

I thought maybe a Mrs. Santa Claus would be a good one this year.

OOOPPSSSSSS!

Carving a Mrs. isn't my cup of tea.

My wife told me that my carving is great,

but NOT a Mrs. Santa Claus.

She thought my finished product looked like a man.

I guess she does not have delicate features, does she?

No!

The 2009 Santa will NOT be a

Mrs. Santa Claus.

Keep watching for the 2009 Santa. Time is flying!

STILL TRYING FOR A MRS. SANTA

How can I make a Mrs. Santa that will be pretty?

Oh! I won't have to worry about her face.

Just the back of her hair.

No!
That isn't enough
for a Mrs. Santa.

Welcoming Santa Home?

Oh! No!4

Too much carving

and Too Little Time!

I have decided!

I will not do a

Welcome Home - Mrs. Santa

for the 2009 Santa.

What To Do! What To Do!
