My first animated Christmas prop

Since I didn't get my blinky lights finished in time for Christmas this year, I decided to put Santa Claus together to hold down the fort until next year.

Looks like you have repurposed one of your halloween props for use at Christmas. Looks great

It was a witch for Halloween but now it's serving a happier role!
Matt, they say the camera adds 10 pounds but in Santa's case, it's really slimming. He does look bigger in person.

Well even though Santa make look thin ... it is so much cooler than the virtual Santa I use
That said .. your Santa would not survive in the weather in my area

Well, I hadn't really thought of it that way, but now that you mention it, I guess he did.
We all know (at least it's what our wives tell us) that behind every great man is an even greater woman!

Simple but effective .. That's great
I also like the use of chicken wire to hold the shape of clothing.
Thanks for sharing
