Welcome To The 2006 Santa Gallery

 

The subscribers to the several woodcarving listserves were again invited to submit their favorite Santa carving for the 2006 Santa Gallery. The Santa's are as varied as snowflakes, and like as their carvers, no two are alike. Enjoy this little early bit of the holiday season!
