This little plastic light up Santa Claus has been a favorite Christmas decoration since I was very young. I must have been 4 or 5 years old when my half sister Phyllis took me shopping in the great Toy House in Jackson. She told me that I could pick out something and I choose this awesome little figure that stands about a foot tall. Each year, this little guy has held a prominent place under my Christmas tree. But, that wasn't the only purchase that day....I remember saying to Phyllis, can't we get something for my sisters at home? She agreed and we found this package of 6 colorfully clothed angel ornaments for the tree. It was perfect because, as I remarked at the time, there was one to represent each of my sisters--Phyllis, Sandy, KenNetha, Shelley, Mary and Annie. I don't know what ever happened to that little package of angels that adorned our tree for many years, but each time I pull out this Santa Claus, I think about my family and the wonderful Christmas seasons we had in our little house on Sunnyheart.
