“My friend, Roy Swanson, alias ‘Santa’, lived in San Francisco many years ago. One Christmas he decided to cut the top off his wagon. You might ask yourself, why? Well, he wanted to load it with mega stuff and drive through all areas of San Francisco on Christmas Eve dressed as Santa, that’s why! He would go into all areas of the city from the rich as well as somewhat dangerous areas and everyone would stop what they were doing to wave at "Santa". There is nothing like Santa, who can bring a smile to the face of each person, no matter whom or where they are in life. Oh…what a magical night!” - Pipka
This is the third figurine of a five year series of Santa traveling around the world in different forms of transportation. Each “Santas Journey” figurine is limited to 950, making it a treasured piece of art. The first in this series was the “Antique Car Santa” (#10120) and the second being “Santa’s Red Truck” (#10126). A unique feature is the novelty lighted lantern on each years sculpture; this battery operated lantern is intended for temporary, novelty lighting use. It is not intended for a nightlight. Popularity of this piece may warrant additional editions. If this occurs, future editions will be marked accordingly.
