Wishes for a very Merry Santa Barbara Christmas from our home to yours!
Carla, son Jon (Santa) and husband Doug.
A family tradition begun by our mom (Oma) many years ago...someone in the family plays Santa! We have all taken turns at least twice.
Our home is decorated for the holidays from stem to stern!
I am particularly fond of angels and cherubs
Mission Santa Barbara (Queen of the Missions) always features a beautiful Creche
This year we have a donkey and her nursing baby in the Creche!
This picture was taken on the 23rd awaiting the arrival of baby Jesus

I just adored the Santa Barbara nativity, just like you said, live animals and all.
Your son Jon looks like a very "hip" Santa. A very nice tradition. Your architect looks dashing.
Your chandelier is such a beautiful verdigris patina, and everything looks festive and elegant. You can't have Christmas without the cherubs and angels.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and I am so glad to have met you. I am looking forward to many more Santa Barbara inspirations over the upcoming new year.
