After a long and perilous Journey,
Santa returns home to Mrs. Claus


Mrs. Santa Claus
Strapless cocktail dress
and high heel red boots, white fur trim:
If that is not an outfit worthy
to welcome back Santa, what is?


Christmas Tree
No messy needles and sap
for Mr. and Mrs. Claus:
Artificial pre-lit white tree
and red baubles it is
!

Santa Residence
Traditional fresh balsam firs
with big red bows
to welcome home
the hero

A white longhaired goat's wool
Flokati pillow waits on the red velvet sofa
for Santa's tired head

  1. I've never thought of Mrs. Claus as being so slinky. All of these photographs go together so wonderfully -- contemporary kitsch. Or is that an oxymoron?

    Most affectionate season's greetings, dear Merisi. xx

  2. Bee,
    Mrs. Claus, who'd have thunk! *smile*

    Best wishes for continued good tidings,
    Merisi

    (I have been a bit handicapped lately, what with slicing my left middle finger almost in half, sort of, just before Christmas Eve, typing is still a challenge, with one hand.)

    I am sorry about your finger! I hope your holiday was
    warm and bright!

  5. Perhaps that is the second Mrs. Claus . . . older gentlemen so often take on 'trophy wives' . . .

  8. Dang! Even Santa got a trophy wife. I hope the first Mrs. Clause was sunning herself on a beach somewhere with her girlfriends.
