I wanted to share my favorite spacey ornament (since I just put it on the tree earlier this week, getting a late start.) I found this shuttle-riding Santa Claus at a department store some seven or eight or nine years ago, and I haven’t seen his like since. It seems I couldn’t locate his manufacturer when I posted him on a previous blog in 2002, so if I couldn’t find him then, most likely I can’t find him for you now, unfortunately. He is wearing a space suit (I’d venture to say, Apollo-era), carrying a helmet, and the shuttle is quite detailed, but red and gold instead of black.
