Mrs. Claus and I arrived in Salt Lake City, UT today in preparation for spending the 2024 Christmas Season working at the Shops of South Town through Christmas Eve. We begin on Saturday, 11/16 and the only day we will have off is Thanksgiving. We always begin on, or around, my birthday, (11/17), 70 years old this year, and end on our Anniversary, (12/24), which will be 48 years this year. These trips seem to be getting a little harder each year, so we are seriously considering working in San Antonio next year so we can sleep in our own bed. We hope everyone has a happy and safe Holiday Season and a very Merry Christmas. ❤️🎅

Another Dine to Donate night at Bubba’s 33 Alamo Ranch Wednesday evening. We appreciate Bubba’s 33 so much for hosting Lone Star Santas Charities, Inc. for a fund raiser each month. Bubba’s 33 was celebrating the introduction of their bald eagle as their mascot so I got to get some pictures as close to a live bald eagle as I have ever been. I got to visit with a lot of their guests, took lots of pictures with children of all ages, and Bubba’s 33 donated 10% of every check when the guest told their server that they were there to support Lone Star Santa’s Charities, Inc. It was an exhausting evening, but so much fun, and raising some money for Lone Star Santas was the cherry on top. 🎅

For all my local friends and family, Bubba’s 33 at Alamo Ranch located at 6930 W. Loop 1604 N.

Please come join me for some great food, fun, and fellowship. I have been asked to come in costume so bring your cameras and we can take some pictures. Bubba’s 33 will donate 10% of your check to Lone Star Santa’s if you will simply tell your server that you are there to support us. I hope to see you there.

We are having some difficulty in gaining access to the actual network video and we will post it as soon as we can work all the bugs out. This video is what Mrs. Claus Marsha recorded from the TV during the live showing. The audio isn’t great so turn up the sound and find out a little about Lone Star Santas Charities and how you can support us.Thank you,Santa SidPresidentLone Star Santas Charities, Inc

For all my neighbors, friends, and family in San Antonio and surrounding areas. Monday, September 16th has been declared Lone Star Santas Day in Texas by several Texas State Legislators. September 16th is 100 days before Christmas and an opportunity for you to help support the mission and purpose of Lone Star Santas Charities. We exist to bring Love, Hope, and Joy all wrapped up in a big Santa hug to children and families that have been devastated by natural disasters. Be it a hurricane, tornado, flood, fire, or any other kind of disaster that devastates a family where children are involved, Lone Star Santas stand ready to deliver toys to those children to help restore some level of normalcy to their lives. We are seeking public support to help us in this mission.
All four Bubba's 33 Restaurants in San Antonio have partnered with us and have pledged to donate 10% of each customer's check to LSS if the customer simply tells their server that they are there to support Lone Star Santas. We thank Bubba's 33 for their generosity and support and ask all of our San Antonio neighbors to help Bubba's 33 in their generous efforts to help Lone Star Santas Charities, Inc.

Well, we have now been on our pilgrimage for a little over a week, and beyond the blowout on our car carrier on the first day, everything else has been pretty much clear sailing. Our first night was in Canyon, TX and then we arrived in Colorado Springs on Sunday evening. Our grandson, Carter, is with us and he wants to attend the Air Force Academy so we spent Monday touring that. Monday evening we had tickets to the Flying W Ranch for dinner and a show by the Flying W Wranglers. They were good but I liked the show that was performed about 25 years ago better. Tuesday we rode up Pile’s Peak on the Cog Railroad and drove through the Garden of the Gods. We left Colorado Springs Wednesday morning and arrived at an RV park in Sharidan, WY. By Thursday we drove through Montana stopping at Little Bighorn battlefield so my grandson and I could walk through there. By Thursday evening we reached an RV park near Glacier National Park and drove the Highway to the Sun from East to West and back again on Friday. That has got to be one of the most impressive national parks I have ever visited. We spent another night there before crossing the Canadian Boarder on Saturday and driving through most of Alberta. In Sunday, we drove through most of British Columbia, and today, Monday, we made it into Yukon. We have been driving the Trans Canadian Highway to Dawson’s Creek where we picked up the AlCan Highway that will take us to our ultimate destination, North Pole AK. Along the drive through Canada thus far we have seen some moose, a black bear, lots of bison, and a grey wolf. Tomorrow evening we will still be in the Yukon and by Wednesday we should reach the North Pole. It’s been a great trip seeing lots of really beautiful country and enjoying meeting some really great people along the way. Pictures in another later post.

Well, I finished up my last scheduled appointment in San Antonio yesterday and today Mrs. C and I began our drive to Salt Lake City, UT where we will be Mr. and Mrs. Claus through Christmas Eve. I want to thank everyone who came to see me and especially those who contributed toys for our Lone Star Santas warehouse in San Antonio or made a cash contribution to LSS. All will be put to very good use in serving the needs of children and families adversely affected by natural disasters. Mrs. C and I are praying that everyone has a safe and very Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in the New year. May God bless you all during this holiday season and in the years to come.

For all my friends and family here in San Antonio, we will be doing our annual Sleigh Pictures with Santa on Saturday morning from 10:00 to 12:00 indoors at the Northwest Church of Christ building located at:
9681 W. Loop 1604 N.
San Antonio, TX 78254-5302.
My authentic vintage sleigh will be there along with Mrs. Claus and Jake Fortenberry, my great photographer, taking professional quality pictures suitable for your Christmas cards, seasonal family portraits, or however you choose to use them, and they are all FREE. So put on your Christmas finery or maybe last year’s Ugly Christmas Sweater contest winner and come get your family Christmas pictures now. Santa will see you there!

PS, it is not required but if you would like, you can bring a new unwrapped toy to help stock the Lone Star Santas San Antonio toy warehouse. These toys are used by LSS to deliver to children affected by natural disasters.

Just got home from my first gig of the season and it was a good one. If the rest of the season is as good as this morning then this will be a wonderful Christmas Season indeed. I am booked every day from now through the 11th of November, and then Marsha and I are off to Salt Lake City, UT for the remainder of the season. This will be Marsha’s first full season as my Mrs. Claus and she is a natural! For any of my local friends and families here in Texas that needs or wants a personalized video for their family, just send me the details via email or messenger and I will do my best to get it done. I am also listed in Cameo if you would rather pay for a personalized message. Since I won’t see many of you until after the season is over, let me wish you all the joys of the season, follow by a healthy, peaceful, prosperous , and fulfilling New year. May god bless you all.🎅

Mrs. C and I just got home from a marvelous four days at Camp Ten:10 conducted this year at Camp Tomahawk on the lake at Livingston, TX. What a wonderful opportunity to spend time with almost 300 campers and staff learning Bible lessons about how God could take people that were considered losers and misfits and use them for His purpose. Mrs. C and I were there because the theme was The Island of Misfit Toys. Santa took his sleigh and we all had a wonderful time. We even had cookies and milk with Santa on Friday evening where we got to read a Christmas story to everyone. What FUN!! Im so glad we all had so much fun and God took such good care of us throughout.

07/14/2023

Mrs. Claus and I had an opportunity this evening to visit one of the Ronald McDonald Houses here in San Antonio for a Christmas in July party for all of the residents there. We had a fabulous time visiting with the children, taking pictures, handing out presents, and enjoying a wonderful Christmas Dinner with turkey, ham, dressing, and all the trimmings. We even got to go live on FB and radio for a few minutes with Rita, and you can find our interview on FB at Inspiration 4 Life. Our interview begins at about the 9:30 point. We wore our full winter regalia and it was HOT, but oh so much fun. Check it out and let us know what you think. Ho Ho Ho!!!!🎅

The Jolly Old Elf and the Mrs. are off to Alaska on a cruise that is also a School4Santas hosted by Santa Tim Connaghan. We finally got underway about an hour late but we are now well on our way to Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, and a view of some glaciers from the ship. We hope to do some whale watching and see a bit of Alaskan culture this week. And oh yeah, there is some school time involved. I will try to post some pictures along the way.

Well, today is my last 7 hour shift at BPS in San Antonio. As is always the case, there have been some rough patches to deal with, but they were far outweighed by the many many very enjoyable visits from families that were kind, courteous, well mannered, complimentary, and just a real joy to be with. Those are the visits that make this time of year a real treasure that will remain in my heart always.
I stayed home this season because Christmas Eve is Marsha’s and my wedding anniversary and today marks 46 years of partnering with her through thick and thin. It is our plan for Marsha to retire early next year and for her to become my Mrs. Claus beginning next Christmas Season.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have visited me or wished me well, and I pray that all of you will enjoy a very merry and blessed Christmas with your family and loved ones. May God Bless us EVERYONE.
