santa-teaser1Necessity may be the mother of invention, but a certain jolly old soul may be its father. At least that’s my conclusion after spending an evening delving through Google Patents for Santa-related patent drawings. I found hundreds of ‘em, and have chosen 25 to share with you at this most wonderful time of the year. Yes, it’s s little bit off the beaten track for Technologizer–I’ve never covered 19th-century toys before, and may never do so again–but what the heck. I found them interesting and hope that you will, too. Ho. Ho. Ho.
