Ho Ho Hoarders: A Guide to Collecting All Things Santa

Yes that's right! You can now jingle all the way to Santa collecting heaven. Santa collectibles: the ultimate way to add some cheer to your Christmas season, and potentially break a world record in the process. But let me tell you, attempting to buy Santa's sleigh is no easy feat. For starters, good luck finding it on Amazon. And even if you do, the shipping cost alone is enough to make even the jolliest of Santa's break out in a cold sweat.


You see, Santa's sleigh is not just any old piece of equipment, it's the ultimate symbol of Christmas magic. It's the vessel that carries presents to every good boy and girl in the world (the ones who celebrate Christmas). It's pulled by Santa's legendary team of reindeer, each with their own special talents (Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph, of course). And let's not forget about the elves, who work tirelessly to load up the sleigh with all those presents.


When it comes to delivering all those presents to every child on Earth, Santa Claus has a few tricks up his sleeve, but let's face it, nothing beats a good old fashioned sleigh. I mean, sure, Santa could fly around on a magical flying machine, or something?, but where's the fun in that? Plus, can you imagine the carbon footprint of all that flying? Santa's sleigh is not only the most efficient mode of transportation, but it also adds an element of nostalgia and tradition to the Christmas season.


But enough about the logistics of Santa's sleigh, let's talk about collecting it. Now, I know what you're thinking: "But wait, isn't Santa's sleigh just a fictional object?" And you would be correct, my dear reader. But that hasn't stopped people from collecting all sorts of Santa-related items, from vintage Santa figurines to Santa-themed Christmas ornaments.


One of the most sought-after Santa collectibles is the Santa Claus action figure. These little guys come in all shapes and sizes, from the classic "chubby Santa" to the more modern, "hipster Santa" (complete with skinny jeans and a man bun). These collectibles can fetch a pretty penny at auction, especially if they're in their original packaging.


Another popular Santa collectible is the Santa Claus cookie jar. These ceramic jars come in all sorts of designs, from traditional Santa figures to more whimsical designs, like Santa riding a horse, or Santa playing the drums. These jars not only make a great conversation starter but also can be used as a cookie jar during Christmas, How cool is that!


Now, if you're looking to take your Santa collecting to the next level, you might want to consider investing in a top-of-the-line Santa Claus suit. That's right, a full-fledged Santa suit, complete with red suit, black boots, white fur trim, and a big Santa belly. But beware, these suits can be quite expensive, and you'll need a good amount of space to store it.


So there you have it, a glimpse into the wild and wacky world of Santa collecting. Whether you're a serious collector or just a casual fan, there's something for everyone when it comes to Santa collectibles. And who knows, with a little bit of luck and a lot of determination, you might just break the world record for the most Santa collectibles. Happy collecting!
