I have discovered that I have very few Santa images...maybe on purpose? My parents didn't make a big deal of Santa, so I have no memory of finding out he wasn't real. I was the same with my kids; Santa brought pajamas or socks or small things. I have had this closeup image of Santa forever, no idea where it came from.
This is for Rebekah's VSN challenge to use her Pinterest board of TV Guide images. Right at the top is a large photo of Johnny Carson in a Santa hat. He was a big star so I included some glitter stars and this funny quote that I found looking for something else. I imagine he really said this! I don't think he was a naturally funny man, he was just so good with his delivery and straight face. I haven't had fruitcake in a long time, must not be my turn to receive it. The nuns at a women's college in Milwaukee used to make it for a fund raiser; it was packed with nuts and fruit, so there was barely any dough holding it together. It was awesome!
This is also for the ABC16 challenge-F is for funny!

Love the quote. So funny! Santa wasn’t real at my house growing up, nor has he been a real person for my daughters. I still color him, but send few cards with him on them.

Awesome card Jean. I love the stamp and how you layered the stars. The postage stamp is a great touch. I also love the quote. I think I must be one of the few people in the world that doesn’t like fruit cake, wedding cake, mince pies, Xmas pud..in fact any kind of cake or pudding with fruit in. My mum used to make mince pies and fruit cake every Xmas. I would always ask for only a bowl of custard. I do not want the fruit cake coming back to me lol. Happy day

Priceless! Love your bold, colorful stars! Funny, but my DH has taken to watching Johnny Carson reruns in the past few months! He really did have a wonderful wit! A lot politically incorrect in this day and age!
