"""It sometimes happens that Santa's sack is subject to wear and tear due to the many reuses and heaviness of the many gifts. And then this can happen..... the sack tears and the gifts fall out......
Fortunately, there is then a watchful eye, that warns Santa Claus in question. The bag is immediately repaired, the gifts are picked up again.
Long story short, it will all be fine again.""" ;-))
Wishing you all a joyful day ;-))

I noticed that a lot of people on Flickr are taking a break, so I hope I'm not to late by wishing you all a very Happy Xmas time or Happy Holidays with your friends and beloved ones!
P.S. This is NOT my last photo, I will continu the Santa-serie until Xmas ;-))
I like origami-Santa's a lot and I collect diagrams since years and years. It started with very simple ones, only suitable for cards and many years ago I decide to make ATC-cards*** (Artist Trade Cards) to create my Santa collection. (I once uploaded them all (see the first comment box))
I promised then to also show them individually in due time, mentioning the designer and where the diagrams can be found. So here are two origami santa's from the same designer.
I tried something new, presenting them in a bigger frame. Let me know what you think of it. ;-))
***Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards, or 2,5 by 3,5inches (64 mm × 89 mm), small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.
The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland.
Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or fiber.
The cards are usually traded or exchanged. When sold, they are usually referred to as art card editions and originals (ACEOs)***
Info - Wikipedia
The ATC-card on the left shows a two piece Santa Claus by Isamu Asahi, made of wo pieces. Got the diagrams from a friend, don't know which book or magazine.
The ATC-card on the right shows also a Santa Claus by Isamu Asahi, except the shoes. That is a design by Seiryo Takekawa.
You can find the diagrams for this 4 unit Santa in NOA magazine # 184.
