What do you carry in your travel bag as Santa
Black River Santa replied to Warrenton Santa's topic in Latest News
Duct tape - never leave home without it! It can mend a failing boot, close up a torn seam from the inside, patch a hole in a toy bag... quick temporary fix for lots of emergencies. -

I always have a maintenance kit with me. It includes: adhesive, brushes, toupee tape, lip balm, extra car fob, cell phone, cash, protein bar, bottle of water, Aspirin, setting powder, tic tacs, business cards, and an extra moustache. For my vehicle, I carry a stander winter emergency kit and a pair of 5XL Cover-Alls. -

Reindeers cause road crash which leaves 12 Finnish soldiers injured in Lapland
Drosselmeyer replied to Warrenton Santa's topic in Latest News
this leaves an awful lot of questions - how fast was this guy going that he crashed an armored personnel carrier ??? all it takes to shut down a NATO detachment is a couple of stray reindeer ??? according to the article they are hit and killed all the time - kinda makes you wonder what details are left out, or what else happened that this was a convenient excuse . . . sorry - my skepticism of the media is showing again . . .- 1 reply

I made a similar post last week "Santa's Emergency Kit"... I THINK you are referring to something similar? Touch up makeup, tylenol, a snack, extra gloves, safety pins, bobby pins, etc? -

came across this discussion of history involving traditions, lore, media and marketing - part history and part social science - it is interesting how they interpret the legend in terms of what was popular at the time and some of the ethnic histories that evolved to create the image we have today . . . 10 DECEMBER, 2017 - 13:56 JIM WILLIS Santa the Shaman Comes to the New World: The Shapeshifting Magic-Man from the Ancient Past In 1626, a ship filled with folks from the Netherlands put into what would later be called New York Harbor and went about building a Dutch colony called New Amsterdam. The figurehead on the prow of their ship was none other than the patron saint of sailors, Saint Nicholas. The Dutch called him "Sinter Claes." Thus, "Santa Claus" came to the new world. Saint Nicholas ( Public Domain ) But he almost disappeared as quickly as he settled in. He remained a part of American holiday traditions for only thirty-eight years. Then the new colony was ceded to England, changed its name to New York, and became inundated with an English population who knew nothing of "Sinter Claes" and despised what they considered to be pagan traditions surrounding the winter solstice. Raising Santa From the Dead It took more than a hundred and fifty years to raise the figure of Santa Claus from the dead here in America, and it required a historian, a poet, a cartoonist, and a marketing department to do it. To greatly simplify a convoluted story, it happened like this: (to read the whole article see link below...)

Here is the best advice anyone could receive. And it is the definitive answer to your question. If there is something you need for your task, make sure you have at least 2 of them. -

Another Santa Appears at a Christmas Parade
Michael Rielly replied to Tim Cavender's topic in Latest News
I had a similar issue with the Grand Illumination in Bristol, RI. Some guy showed up 2 years ago doing the same thing. Long story short, I met with the chief of police and the mayor. The police now escort any and all fake Santas off the premises during the hours of the event. This may sound harsh, but there are deeper implications here than just some $#@! crashing your gig. Namely liability issues. This seems to be happening to Santas more and more lately and is one of my biggest pet peeves in the Santa community. Not sure what it is other than ego or just plain stupidity, but for some reason these guys think it is perfectly okay to crash another Santa's event. They show up and work the crowd passing out business cards and candy canes. Meanwhile, you are doing your best to stay in character and entertain, while in the corner of your eye you can see fake Santa working the crowd. Luckily for me, I have a really good relationship with most of the police officers in my town. They love going after impersonators. I cannot stress enough how wrong this is. It is low, unprofessional, rude, and just plan ignorant. If you are planning doing this or think it is a good way to promote yourself, please consider your fellow brothers and sisters in red. -
Another Santa Appears at a Christmas Parade
Santa TJS replied to Tim Cavender's topic in Latest News
I had it happen last season at a charity Hockey Game where Saanta was to arrive greet the teams ,drop the puck, Some guy showed up in a party store outfit and tried to work his way into the crowd and was stoped prior to getting to the ice. I got many questions from the smaller children who was the other Santa.Just unacceptable, -

Another Santa Appears at a Christmas Parade
Felix Estridge replied to Tim Cavender's topic in Latest News
If you know with what group, club, or organization they were with, I would have the parade committee contact them to let them know they will not be participating this year unless they can abide by the rules and to specify which rule they broke. -
Another Santa Appears at a Christmas Parade
MagicalMrsClaus replied to Tim Cavender's topic in Latest News
Holy holy holy crap. Noooo that is so SO bad. I am so sorry that happened! That member should be banned from your event, or at minimum suspended for a year. If he was with a group or organization, they need to be contacted as well. How long is your parade route? Do you have enough staffing to have someone standing every quarter mile (or whatever) to keep an eye on things? That may also be really helpful for other potential problems, emergencies, etc. Do you have to treat grown adults like children and offer them alternatives so they don't cause problems? Maybe add a costume bit specifically encouraging costumes of Elves, Victorian carolers, Dickens characters, Live nativity scenes, etc. Throw in an award for best character or float. Maybe then they won't be as interested in dressing as Santa? I'm curious, if hypothetically someone were to catch someone doing this during the parade progression, what would they do to stop it? Jump on the float? Approach it as it was rolling? I'm just curious for my own knowledge because I work in the events industry and while I have never seen this happen, I don't know what I would do!

If You Have the Post Christmas Blues You’re Doing Christmas Wrong
Michael Rielly posted a topic in Latest News,
The post-Christmas blues are a very real thing. Once the date of December 25th has passed the specter of December 26th is an ominous marker to many. It sits there on the calendar like the Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come. Silent and foreboding, the very image of the hooded Angel of Death it seems to be. And why not?
Just about anywhere you look Americans are tossing trees to the curb, ripping down lights from rooftops and radio stations are flipping back to everyday music. What took months to build gets deconstructed in a matter of a couple of days.-
