Default Cotton Choppin' Santa
Finally.... all my Texas bound Santa's are ready to make their appearance at my class reunion this coming weekend. Here is the last one. Before three wheelers and chemical weed killers we walked the fields chopping out the weeds. In other parts of the country I've heard it called "'walking the beans".
Anyway, I'm glad they're done and I can rest a bit.... Have 5 large Santa's and 21 ornaments going.....

I like your cotton choppin' Santa.

Hi Ed,

He came out real well. Looks like a friend of mine.

Have fun at your reunion. I'm sure your carvings are going to get a lot of attention.
