The North Pole and Santa Claus

Maybe you have some or all of these ornaments in your collection..... I got these at Hallmark back in 1992 (I couldn't remember...I looked on the box) It was back when they offered a special set each Christmas season and the deal was you had to go in once a week to get the next part of the set.....good marketing...(they'll get you in one way or another)
At the time...I really just thought they were cute and since Hallmark was right around the corner from our house...I could easily get in there each week to get the latest addition. Plus... some friends of ours were managing the store and they always had a wonderful Holiday Open House and kids were always welcome...since they had three young children themselves
Later when I started collecting my North Pole Village houses...I realized that Santa and the reindeer were just the right size to go along with my set....so now they get to park every year in front of the little houses...ready for take-off!
