Hide the kids, he’s coming!
Sorry, but this kind of Santa Claus creates stomach churning feelings – it’s more a threat than a friendly reminder of christmas-to-be. I think it qualifies for a gallery of the “most ugly chrismas decorations” that Bernd over at babaoskar shoots back was intending. I do like the less agressively painted “Nikolaus” figures, the ones that don’t look like a comic creature brought to life (and nightmare). But this one… Alas, I am quite alone.
Addendum: There’s a new set of wallpapers for december. As there was still no wintery weather, I resorted to an image from the archive: the deeply frozen pond in Schönram. The scenery is maybe a bit depressing with all the dead trees, but then, it may be just anticipate the Kopenhagen climate talk results. Only that we won’t have that much cold winters any more.

That’s a amazingly ugly decoration. I like your humorous observations.
Tis the season and are you ready for it I sure am not! I like how you have changed your blog very nice!
That is scary looking. He looks like he would inspire nightmares rather than dreams of sugarplums dancing in their heads. He’s probably looking for his reindeer … he scared them off!
This makes me think of the “Visiting Santa” scene in the classic Jean Shepard movie “Christmas Story.”
@Paul: …he ate them.
