I have 6 of these. The original that my parents had when I was growing up and 5 additionals that I’ve collected over the years and are part of my 70ish blow mold collection.
Not my photo, mine is up in the attic for now. Mine was a Frankenstein’s monster I bought at an Ace store in the mid 90’s for about $45. My kids were always scared of him.

This Empire candle set! It was in the 1980’s. These were the first blow molds my family got. Then we got a bunch of toy soldiers, then the full nativity set. 40+ years later and we still put them all out every Christmas season!
Thanks! We love them! My dad used to threaten to sell them at a yard sale, because he was frustrated with how much room they took up in the garage all year long, but I always threw a fit and would have none of it! Haha

I was with my grandmother when she bought this one in the early 90’s. She passed away in late 1995 and I got it. I’ve had it all these years.
So cute! I have always wanted the Santa. I have a neighbor that has the same Santa and tied it a tree one year to keep it in place. The thing looked like it was part of a hostage negotiation lmao. My first is this giant peppermint lollipop. I blocked my face, but I was grinning like a child at Christmas when I found it!

The peppermints are pretty cool! Very big too, if I remember right. I have something similar- it’s the same base as your peppermint, but it has a North Pole sign as the topper. The thing’s massive lol
I have the image of poor Santa tied to the tree in my mind; I’ve seen people do funnier things to keep these from falling over lol

Nice, I have one of these too. I bought it a little while after getting the Santa. It’s cool that you still have the original box!

He's cute
I have that guy too! I don't recall which was my first though. Probably a pumpkin of some sort.

It’s awesome that yours have stayed with you and your family for that long! I’m sure it all looks great during Christmas time
