Outside it is playing time on the bulbs and it's getting dark ;-D

Origami Santa Claus on the left is not really a Santa, but an half-Santa. It's the legs for the Taichiro Hasegawa's "origami Santa Claus with Bag".
The complete model has been published by Taichiro Hasegawa in his book "Nice Practical Origami" (素敵な実用折り紙) in 2007, ISBN 978-4537205268.

I found this in our backyard ;-)) It will soon be Christmas…….
Actually I wanted to write 'Santa Claus is coming to town', also referring to that song. But the paper was to small…
There are two 'letter' - santa's: one standing and one sitting! So you can make all the words that you want ;-))

Creating an origami "kusudama"- family and yes, they have a relative, you can see it in the first comment. ;-)
Do you know how 'Riddle' looks like?... I will upload that photo in a few days.

All folded from the same simple folded unit, which I found in an old booklet "Unit-Origami" by David Petty. And you can make different forms depending on how many units are assembled.

The complete green one is made of 4 original units.
But I discovered that the back was beautiful too. So I made the one in the middle using 12 backsides units.
The first one the left is also made of 12 units, 3 original, 3 backside and 3 of a third variation. Just turning the paper and do the fold sequence and you get a color change ;-)
With this last variation I made the big one on the upper right, 30 units.

All folded from thick foil, square 6,5x6,5cm, glue needed.
