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!
