What Santa Does in His Spare Time

You may have wondered what Santa does when he's not delivering presents. Here's your answer. He likes to work with miniatures and build dollhouses. He also has a habit of answering the phone when he passes a phone booth and hears it ringing. That doesn't happen much anymore because there are so few phone booths.



Oh, and he smokes a pipe.


Here are the backs of the first two cards in the same order. The first one was sent to Viola Vincent in Sidney, New York in 1914. The second one as sent to Miss Cassie Doran in Daleville, Pennsylvania in 1908.

  8. Very unusual. You’d think he’d be more comfortable if he took his hat and jacket off to do that delicate painting.

  9. Great Santa postcards. I'm having a hard time finding as many with Santa on them these days. And what great information about Santa, the man! I wonder what other quirks he has that we don't know about.....
