Christmas at House on the Rock
A couple of years ago, Jeff and I headed to Madison for our at least once a year visit a little later than usual, and we feared that we would find House on the Rock closed for the season. But lo! It was merely transformed into a winter wonderland by yet another collection: Santas!
In fact, much of the place was adorned as above. So much so that we started calling our experience night of the living Santas.
Here's the thing about the Santa collection at House on the Rock, though. The collection is quite extensive, but not exactly pristine. By that I mean that some of the Santas are, well, in less than mint condition. Some are simply dingy. Others have eyes just a tad off plumb, if you can picture that. Others are just plain creepy. This is apparent throughout the attraction, and nowhere so much as on the World's Largest Carousel. But don't take my word for it... see for yourself!
Whew! Just makes you want to hop on Santa's lap and ask for goodies, now, doesn't it?
Well, no matter how crazy or creepy House on the Rock can make Santa, we all know that he'll be making his rounds tonight, so we'd better not be making TOO much fun of him, huh?
Merry Christmas, everyone !
Pleasant holiday dreams!

The Santas...the Santas...they haunt me!
To paraphrase noted philosopher B. Simpson, "Can't sleep...Santas will eat me."
Perhaps I should will my skull collection to House On the Rock--immortality assured!
You should contact them with the offer! Maybe in exchange they will offer you (and any friends who may accompany you) lifetime admission!
I loves me some HOTR Christmas cheer!!!
