It's taken a few days but I think I'm there: numerous Santas (of course) plus some other bits and pieces which are quirky and make me smile: there is a small bear, two elephants (one big, one small, the big one is made from glass and wearing a top hat), three glass frogs complete with coronets and pearl necklaces and the…
