Peanuts.....I LOVE PEANUTS. As I was sitting here at my computer eating the last of the peanuts in my can...and then eating all the tiny bits from the bottom of the can, I realized I had just eaten Santa heads. A childhood memory came back to me that I hadn't thought about in a long time. I've emptied plenty of peanut cans and never before, until today, did I realize it was Santa that I was picking off the bottom. I wanted to post about peanuts having a Santa Claus, but I'd already eaten them all before thinking about it. Ok, easy enough.....I opened up another can and emptied out all the peanuts so I could get a picture of all the Santa's in the bottom. I know.....there are just some things that can't be explained.
I remember Christmas morning and the excitement of getting an orange and unshelled peanuts in my stocking and of my mom and dad telling me that there was a Santa Claus in every peanut. It was fun cracking the shells, digging out the peanuts and then opening them up to find Santa inside. Yep, mom and dad were right.....there was a Santa Claus with his long beard inside every one of those peanuts.

Such a cute memory. I really like peanuts too, but have never heard the insides called "Santa Heads."
Yep I remember mom and dad telling us that but haven't thought about it for a long time either....Max
