Greetings to our Friends~

What a whirlwind spring and summer this has been so far!  Since our last entry, we have travelled many many places and visited with so many wonderful people!  We are always astonished how much love there is in the World and so many willing to share theirs with us.

The Convention in Gatlinburg was nothing short of AMAZING!  Please check the Photo Gallery for some of the photos we took at this celebration and you will see Santa Ambassadors from all over the World along with their Mrs. Clauses, Elves, and other Helpers.  We participated in a huge parade right down the middle of Downtown Gatlinburg.  The crowd was estimated at 20,000 people which is the largest group all in one place that we have personally appeared before.  We were stunned by the outpouring of love and Joy and this wonderful event for the entire 3 days and are looking forward to doing it all again next March.  This will be an annual event in the City of Gatlinburg, so if you missed it in 2009, plan to try and attend in 2010.  It will be a night parade and we LOVE night parades BEST!

We have travelled to St. Augustine to check on the children, and found it to be a completely delightful city.  This was our first trip there (off season, that is) and really enjoyed meeting so many great people there.  What a fantastic place to vacation!  As anticipated, there were many children there and we added a LOT of names to the Nice List!  

The children are growing up so quickly, but we also noted that Santa has a LOT of brand NEW customers to visit this year, so we've notified the elves in the Workshop to prepare for a very, very busy Christmas Season.  They have assured us they will be ready.  The new Workshop has been completed so now there are 3 full workshops at the North Pole!  We have appointed "head Elfs" to each of the Workshops in order to NOT overwork anyone.  So far, everything seems to be going well and right on schedule for this time of year.

We will be leaving soon for Maui, Hawaii to see our Hawaiian friends and then on to other parts of the World before returning to America and our home away from home, Alabama.

Stay tuned, more information coming in a month or so.

Best Wishes to all our wonderful friends and......................don't forget to:
