A few years ago my DH talked me into collecting these sweet Santa mugs. We'd been seeing a lot of them whenever we went antiquing.
They are fairly inexpensive and and now I"m hooked!
Doesn't she have the sweetest face? She was surprise from DH one year!
And, well Rudolph, I spotted him this past summer and snatched him right up! So far I've baked Monday and Tuesday nights and have made over 200 cookies. I work until 5:30 so until we eat and get the kitchen cleaned up, I don't get started until after 7pm. My goal is 4 batches of easy cookies per night during the week then this weekend will be a non-stop "difficult" cookie and candy making marathon!
This week I'm joining Cindy from My Romantic Home
and Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday. I'd like to thank both women for hosting these wonderful days!
Enjoy!

Girl, you are a cookie-making machine!!! I just can't do it on work nights. I go to bed so early because I am up before 5 that all my baking is pretty much relegated to the weekends. But I don't have to make a whole lot so it is ok!
I loooove the Santa mugs! So vintage and wonderful!!!
It's funny, you see one and it doesn't have much impact, but your collection is an explosion of cuteness! I never would have thought to collect those, but they look adorable all together.
Thanks for sharing!
My mom has one of your Santa mugs...she has had it ever since I can remember. When I saw the pics in your post, I immediately spotted it. How cool.
Nice collection!
i love your mug collection. Actually I am envious of your mug collection. I am a collector also. But I collect all mugs.I don't have as many or as good quality. But aren't they fun.
What a cute collection! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Oh LeAnn...
These sweet faces are just beautiful. I love them, and like you said this is not a real expensive thing to collect. You can find them at a fairly reasonable price. I had never thought of collecting these little cups, and over the years growing up how many I received and tossed them out.
I so love them. Now the cookie making business. Oh my gosh, what on earth are you going to do with all these cookies? You mus have one heck of a large family, or you give a lot of cookies (love from yourself) at the holidays.
Hsve a beautiful day sweetie. Stop by and say hi. I so love the company. Country hugs, Sherry
Leann, what a fun collection! Loved seeing this. I've never seen a Rudolph mug, so I think you might have found an extra special little treasure there.

The Mrs. Santa is adorable. What a cute collection. That's a lot of work all that cookie baking. But I'll bet your house smells good! Rosie
Oh I love the santa mugs.Your mantle with all the tree toppers is just beautiful.Wow do you have so many.They are hard to find around here.Merry Christmas,Jen
Hi Leann! The santa mugs are sweet ~ I had a couple as a child but no longer have them.
mmmm... I smell homemade cookies coming from your kitchen!
What a wonderful collection I used to have one when I was a little girl. Hot Cocoa tastes much better in a Santa mug. Merry Christmas ~Blessings Heather :D
So much fun seeing all the faces of Christmas! I really am partial to the white/blue figures, they are stunning. Kerrie
Leeann, I haven't seen so many mugs in many years. They were once all the rage for everyone. Very trendy. That is a cute collection. And the kids and even the big kids below look to be having a blast with those cookies. What fun. Hope they all helped clean up! Hugs, Mollye
Oh NO! I am trying so hard to NOT collect these and I keep seeing them!! I love yours!
Hugs, Lisa
What fun these mugs are! Do you ever drink out of them? I like the rudolph mug! I need to do a cookie marathon of my own soon too! Happy Holidays!
That's some Santa collection! What do you do with them for the other 11 months of the year?
So cute. I believe I have some packed in my Santa collection box. Didn't get them down this year!
Hi, Leann,
I love your Santa and Mrs. Claus collection and Rudolph, too. I think it is wonderful that your husband wanted to start collecting them! He sounds like a great guy! Thank you for sharing your fantastic Christmas display, I loved them all! Blessings to you! Vicki
