What a terrific start to the Christmas Season! Mrs. Claus and I have visited with folks at The Evergreen: Southern Kitchen and Gathering Place, Amanda Hacker Photography, Light Up Lawrenceburg, Young & Thread, LLC, Early Learning Village East, Kentucky Farm Bureau, Paul Sawyier Public Library, The Lawrenceburg Christmas Parade, and a unit of the Kentucky National Guard. And today is only December 5! So much more fun to come!
I hear it’s been a hot summer for many of you! We here at the North Pole have enjoyed steady temperatures of 32 degrees or below! Perfect for being in the Christmas Spirit!
I haven’t written a post on here for some time, and for that, I apologize. Last year was an extra busy year: so many toys to make, and so many children to visit! I cannot tell you how many millions of children made it onto my NICE list last year!
Now, this year, the Elves have already begun their toy-making, and I have begun my list-making! Mrs. Claus has been busy trying new cookie recipes in the kitchen. And best of all, I have been making arrangements to come visit many of you during the holiday season: to visit your schools, your downtown parades, light up festivals and so many more fun events. I hope to have my calendar of events posted real soon, so be on the lookout!
In the meantime, keep helping out your parents, do your best work at school, and do something nice for someone today. And remember: Santa Loves YOU!
It’s finally here and I am so excited! Visit with me virtually at the North Pole! We can chat, take pictures, talk about what you would like for Christmas, and even have Storytime together!
Go to Zuhoo.com/id and use Jingle4 for my ID. We will have such a wonderful time together! I can’t wait!
Christmas 2020 was different. It was a time of staying home and staying healthy. Mrs. Claus and I were very concerned for the health and safety of children all around the world, but we were also sad to think we wouldn’t get to visit with everyone. That’s when we decided to invite everyone to our home at the North Pole…virtually!
What wonderful times we had! We were able to sit and chat with children and their families, see all the family pets, and hear so many wonderful Christmas wishes!
Now we look ahead to Christmas 2021. Things are improving; restrictions are lifting in many parts of the world, and it looks like most everything could be back to normal in time for the holidays! Santa and Mrs. Claus are fully vaccinated and looking forward to getting out and about to visit with everyone.
Just the other day, Mrs. Claus and I were talking. We were a little sad that we wouldn’t be having anyone visit us at the North Pole this year. But then I said “Why not? We can come out and visit with the children just like in years past, but why not also continue the virtual visits to our home and my workshop?”
So that is what we will do! This Christmas, you will indeed see Santa around your town – opening the Christmas season, in parades, sitting for pictures, at parties and celebrations. But you will also have the opportunity to visit with Santa virtually at special times throughout the Christmas season!!
In the coming weeks, I will write more about virtual visits and how you can be a part of them! So be on the lookout for upcoming posts!
Christmas 2021 may very well be the best one ever!!
From time to time, while Santa is out taking a break from his duties at the North Pole, he notices children who are being especially good! When this happens, Santa will give them this card:
Have you, or someone you know, received this card? Santa would LOVE to hear from you! Send Santa an email at SantaRalphKy@gmail.com … write me any questions you may have or just say hello to Santa and we can stay in touch!
Well, ho, ho hello again, everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve written-but duty called! Last month, the elves came back from their well-deserved vacation and began preparations for Christmas 2019. And of course, I had to be there to make sure everything was back up and running smoothly. Let me tell you, if what I saw was any indication, this coming Christmas will be the best one yet!
Where was I before I left…oh, yes, telling you about some of the best photographers in the area! Timber and Twine Photography is another one of my very favorites! Samantha Reed is a delightful photographer, and she captured many magical moments during a neighborhood party. She was good with the children – very important in my opinion! – and made everyone feel special. In addition to the more formal photos, Samantha captured some spontaneous moments that are priceless!
