Stories |

| Honor Santa |
Being an American, Honor Santa feels
the heavy responsibility that we have been given as a blessed nation.
During times of uncertainty, he places his hand over his heart and prays
for guidance and wisdom. He knows
the American heart is honorable and at
the end of the day, a force for good. |
| Doghouse Santa |
Doghouses are very
important in Alaska, where Doghouse Santa is from. His Malamute racing
dog, Tootega,
appreciates the warm shelter from the wind. This morning
he is late to rise because they were out all night
practicing for the
Iditarod race. As you can probably tell, Doghouse Santa is a little
tired himself. |
| Tannenbaum Santa |
Tannebaum Santa is from Schwerin,
Germany. Every year he looks forward to his country's "12 Days of
Christmas" celebration. It starts on December 24th when the town
Christmas tree is erected. This is when
the townspeople put up their
Christmas tree as well. Then, on the twelfth night (January 6th) the
children
are free to raid the trees of cookies and sugar plums that were
placed on them during the previous 12 nights. |
| O'Flaherty Santa |
O'Flaherty Santa is
from Galway, Ireland. He can trace his roots back to when the Franciscan
Friars first
established a Friary in Galway back in 1296. His local
church is said to be the first one in Ireland dedicated
to the
Immaculate Conception. Every year he attends the Immaculate Conception
feast wearing his traditional
worship garment. |
| Tinkle Tinkle Santa
- Sold Out |
Tinkle Tinkle Santa
is from Iceland. He got his nickname, Tinkle Tinkle, from his love of
playing the bells
at his local church. He and his fellow bell players
would refer to their weekly bell practice session as,
"Tinkle Tinkle"
practice. His real name is Elmar. |
