Now that is truly strange - the part about him having a twin. Maybe a company makes them to sell to tacky tourist towns?

Shani-I wonder were more of these might be! Strangely enough, there isn't one at Santa's Land

Drivebybiscuit-I think he deals with cars that stay their longer then an hour

...and this one (& the twin in GA) are the first I've seen of this type. I'll let you know if I come across any others.

Two of a kind, eh?

We had a giant Santa in Valparaiso, IN that looks like it was made from the same mold as alot of yours......unfourtantely they only stick him up during the Christmas season...

Yes, the Valparaiso Santa is the "garden variety" (but oh so wonderful) type that I have lots of examples of at my webpage. Last year, I went looking for him on the square where he's supposed to be located. But alas, it was "off-season" & I didn't get to see him. Do you have any frontal shots of him?

Jacob...K says:

I sure do.....

I loved him so much when I was a kid.....I remember driving by and seeing him laying face down in a snow bank.....They have started lashing him down to insure this diallusioning experincing from affecting anymore children

I don't know if I like him or the Swollen Southern Tourist Santa better......

Great! Here's another one in Kalamazoo, MI that is only brought out for the holidays:

Hope you have recovered from your "smashed Santa" trauma.

Jacob...K says:

Looks very similar, although he is lacking the ridiculously rosey cheeks of the Valpraiso one......Is there something about Santa Clauses and the state of Indiana?

I was recovered from my Santa Trauma, until I visted Santa's Land

I love the other Santa lands.....I'd love to do a US tour of them :)

I think this rabbit may be my favorite fiberglass monstrosity in the world

For some reason, the photo makes him look like he's about the blow his brains out.
