Thank You to Our Community🙌

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Festival of Trees! Your enthusiasm, support, and community spirit helped make the event a wonderful success. Because of your participation, we were able to contribute $19,124.95 to the community groups who took part as vendors.

We’re grateful for each of you who helped bring this celebration to life, and we look forward to creating even more memorable moments together next year.

Twas the night before Christmas, and Santa and Dixie had returned to the North Pole to prepare for his flight; A huge shout out to these team members for being a part of three of my four sessions this year. We appreciate you both so much.

With our Santa sessions complete and tasks wrapped up tight, our team heads off to spend time with family, as monitors dimmed, mugs set down just right, as we stepped into a well-earned winter break.

We’ll be away recharging and celebrating until January 5th, 2026, before returning refreshed and ready for the year ahead. With a big surprise coming this year. Be on the look out!!!!

From our home to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday filled with love and friendship. See you all in the new year.

From our house to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a joyful, healthy New Year. May this season be filled with laughter, love, and special moments with those who matter most. Thank you to my 2025 Santa teams for all that you do—your dedication, generosity, and hard work make a real difference, and I’m so grateful for each of you. Wishing you peace, happiness, and continued success in the year ahead.

A special shout-out to these two elves today! As a part of the team they have helped prepare for every one of my events this year, our Santa season is a busy one—things get missed, equipment has to be moved, set up, and taken down, and someone always has to be the subject of the light checks. These two have been such a huge help, and I truly couldn’t do what I do without them at all of my events and sessions. Thank you, Ryland and Brinlee, for your hard work to give back to our community, and of course, for having fun along the way.
