On first glance, it looks like Santa Ed Taylor wearing an Adele's Continental Coat with the optional gold trim.

I am doing a few “orders” for this season. I put a few “feeler posts” out on FB, just to gauge the interest. The response was very encouraging. I’ve since pulled those posts and I’m working on getting the orders I accepted done by November. It’s nothing official, but I have purchased a few domain names for a potential webpage. I’m still learning and getting the timing/temps down to a consistent process. Of course the biggest problem is my regular job. I’m not retired…yet…and I’m working more than full-time right now with the railroad. They have a huge manpower shortage so I never seem to have the time to get in the shop. The only upside to working so much is that it gives me a lot of time, designing and wax work, while I’m sitting in a hotel room waiting for my call to return home.

Several years ago, one daughter had worked for a division of Warner Brothers Records was able to get tickets for my wife and I for the show in Hershey PA that year and the next year she got us 4 tickets. The first year we had fantastic seats in the 15th row center. The second year we had about the same seat tickets and had given them to my other daughter and 3 of her friends ( we sat in the back section center and had a great time too. What an experience! Would highly recommend seeing in person.

I think you are right, it does look like Santa Ed

In my choir room, I kept a decorated, white tree year around. I changed it to match the holiday. At the end of June, I would decorate it red, white, and blue. When I decorated it for Fall is when I got the most comments on it.

Good job Dr. Drosselmeyer. I really enjoyed your interpretation. I know you had on a clever disguise but I still recognized you as Santa.

This looks fun ...

He's a super nice guy! He doesn't speak, at all, like his character.

ive been a fan of Pittsburgh dad for a while. being from north central wv and having a lot of yinzers come here. reminds me of my friends from high school. also i heard that curt wooten, the guy who plays dad is a nice guy as well

Yes, the Eat'n Park Christmas Star commercial is HUGE in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh Dad, a local comedian, pokes fun at it in this YouTube video: You might like some of his other Christmas videos for a good laugh!

Wow... I love collecting bells, sleigh or otherwise....i want it lol!!

Thats great. When you become fully operational, post your web domains up and Im sure you will get quite a few orders

Nice one, is this something you intend to produce for sale? If so Im sure lots of Santa's will be interested

Thank you, Rob. They all have a wonderful timbre and I’ll post a video once I get them all assembled.

I thought I had left feedback on this already...anyway, the ring sounds pretty good and thats on video it most likely even better in real time as it were. I love the craftsmanship, excellent

Unfortunately, instead of an internet connection, I have a satellite dish that sorta gets me to the internet. My upload is half of what is needed to safely zoom. Plus, many weather conditions inconveniently knock out my signal at random. I love that you are zooming for the kids.

I burst out laughing when the children mentioned putting the Elf on the Shelf in a 'Time out bag' lol

Its a lovely looking coat, very smart indeed

It is.

Beautiful coat.

But then you are a professional musician from a fairly cold climate

I love it.

Did you complete the video, if so I would love to see it, the trailer is excellent thanks

You really can't beat Disney, fabulous stuff. The image link isn't working?

I remember watching this programme as a child ,Mary Parkinson, the presenter was married to the UK famous Michael Parkinson. I recall my parents used to pay a small amount of money weekly throughout the year into a Christmas Hamper club which served us well over the festive period with delights only to be had at Christmas . I love the bit about the cockerel for Christmas lunch, my father used dispatch the it on Christmas Eve, I never liked that part of Christmas, but it never stopped me eating the chicken! On Christmas morning there was always an orange, a handful of nuts and a three penny piece in the stocking. The main gift for all the family was the Compendium of games,everyone used to join in, real family stuff, no electronics back then Happy memories

I had never heard of this program prior to reading this post. Having watched a couple, hilarious, and lots more to watch!

But as you say, it kept it going for four more years, and in truth its kept it going in her heart foreverley

She kind of laughs about it but still thinks it's cool Dad did this for her.

What a wonderful experience the delight must have been overwhelming. What did she say about it when she was older?

I wouldn't know where to start particularly with the technical side. I may ask my 13 yr old Grandson!

The UK Christmas commercials are simply awesome! Like miniature movies, so well produced, so cinematic - we don't get to see these in this country but I can't wait to start viewing this year's entries on YouTube!

She told everyone and showed them the tape. It was quite a stir.

That is super cool! I can hear her nervous breathing and heartbeat - what an impression it must have made!

Not wrong about the climate, its been very wintery today
