     Laura sent along a very interesting article (via Collectors
Weekly) called "Will The Real Santa Claus Please Stand Up?" It touches on some of our older blog entries (such as the Belsnickel and the Haddon Sundblom Santa) and has some fascinating information you may not have heard of before:

     Continuing our historical bent is this article all about the origins and changes over time of Elves. Entitled "The Strange History of Santa's Little Helpers", it covers a lot of ground in only two pages. Go see!
