Hello Kringles!

 
As you can see the newsletter traffic has slowed down.  This is our busy season and whether you just volunteer, or work in a mall, or just appear at private parties, you are one of thousands of Santas who are busy at work.

 

I don't know if you are as busy as I, but I love getting to work. The opportunity to bring joy to others is one of the key elements into why we do this.  Meeting the Children, listening to special wishes, and seeing the smiles on their faces is what many of us thrive on.

 

As we are all so busy, We tend to put a few things on the 'back-burner,' so to speak.  So this newsletter is a bit of a reminder.

 

1) You can do some of your holiday shopping from our convention vendors.  

2) A convention registration can be a great stocking stuffer.  Why not surprise your Santa or Mrs. Claus

3)  The "Red Suit Survey" contains some great insight into who Santa is. The Mrs. Claus Survey also give us insight into our Mrs. Claus.

 

Most of the Convention work is slowing down, except for Convention registration. In the mean time, I hope you have a great Christmas Season, and feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or want to share something.

 

Santacerely,

 

Santa Tim Connaghan

GIVE A DS2016 REGISTRATION FOR CHRISTMAS!
Join the over 700 Kringles who have already registered!

I f you have been thinking of attending DS2016, or maybe you have just been waiting until your Christmas monies start coming in, Now is also a good time to start your registration.

A DS2016 registration makes a great stocking stuffer.  What a wonderful way to surprise your Santa, or Mrs. Claus!

Because many Santas find and earn their extra income in December, we know they have had to wait to start their registration.  

We want to give them a little push this week.  It's a good time to register.  You can start filling out the forms today, and make plans to complete your registration later this month, or in January.

Registering now also insures you have a little better chance of getting the room and hotel you want.

As we have been telling everyone for months. Registration and Sign-Ups for Discover Santa 2016 can be done any time 24-7-365. Taunya Lay at Branson Ticket and Travel (BT&T), is the lovely lady who has been helping Santas and Mrs. Claus ever since she coordinated our 2006 convention.  And with the team of experts at BT&T she is again doing a fantastic job. 

We have packages to fit every Santa and Mrs. Claus' pocket book. Click here to view the Registration Page.

We set up the convention registration knowing full-well that most of the convention attendees would be Seniors and those on controlled or limited income flow.  We do need an initial deposit, but after that you can pay something monthly.  The balance needs to be paid on or around March 1, 2016.  Taunya can give you all the details.   

By the way, deposits for those not needing a hotel room are much less.

You can view all of the packages on our web site and submit your registration at any time.

Once your registration form is received, Taunya will contact you.  Usually within 48 hours. She will review your registration and work with you in paying for your registration.  If you need, she can work with you in splitting up the payments.   

Or Call Taunya at Branson Ticket & Travel 800-432-4202
