Woodlawn Santa Is Out of Commission

Oh noes!  Bad news, folks. Woodlawn Santa (aka. Sharon Ehrig) is out of commission for the season.

Sharon broke her right wrist this morning and will be unable to wave from her porch at 3916 Woodlawn Ave this holiday season.  She will not be on the porch for the rest of the year.   But Santa’s lights are on!  Something like 15,000 of them, so do drop by if you enjoy Santa’s Christmas decorations.  I sure do.

Tonight the weather is mild, so Santa’s got the front door open and is able to visit with neighbors as they stop by.  Actually, that’s her in the photo, wearing her sling on the porch.  She’s grateful it was her wrist she broke, and not something worse.  And she’s thinking about putting some glitter on that sling, too.

Santa says she’ll be back next year and looks forward to seeing everyone then.  And of course, the last thing she said was, “Ho ho ho!!”

Ed. Note: if you would like to leave Santa a get-well card, the mail slot is on the north side of the house, just up the driveway.

    Darn, I wish I had seen this post before we ventured out. I would have loved to have Little Wallydude and Wallydudette make her a card! Feel better soon, Santa Sharon! And thanks for creating such a lovely display of lights!
