Trees and Santa Bears

Anyone that knows my little family understands implicitly that x-mas time means time for the Santa Bears. The 2005 edition (20th year!?!) of these bears that Danette collects are down at the base of the tree. This collection began way back in 1985... and she has a complete set. When we lived in STL and DC several of our friends found pleasure in our holiday tradition of displaying all of these bears at x-mas... all over the house.... I probably won't be the only one interested to see how a mixture of Santa Bears and a baby works at our house next year!

The tree, of course, is the one with the L.E.D. lights, the really bright ones (especially the bright blue ones).
