SANTA’S WORKSHOP

A DIAMOND IS A CHUNK OF COAL THAT DID WELL UNDER PRESSURE

MRS. CLAUS’ CAFÉ: SUGAR COOKIES – HOT CHOCOLATE – GINGERBREAD – EGGNOG – CANDY CANES (FRESH DAILY, SLEIGH DELIVERED UNTIL DECEMBER 24TH)

SANTA’S RULES : NEVER STOP BELIEVING, SING CAROLS, IT’S ABOUT GIVING NOT RECEIVING, BAKE COOKIES, HAVE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT, NO PEEKING, ENJOY FAMILY AND BE GOOD FOR GOODNESS SAKE!

SANTA’S RULES: LEAVE OUT COOKIES AND MILK, STAY ON THE GOOD LIST, LISTEN FOR REINDEER, ALWAYS BELIEVE, NO PEEKING, HANG STOCKINGS AND SPREAD CHRISTMAS CHEER

DEAR SANTA, LEAVE PRESENTS AND TAKE MY SISTER.

I HEARD YOU HAVE BEEN NAUGHTY, NOT NICE. AND SANTA EVEN CHECKED HIS LIST TWICE! SO ALL THE WAY FROM THE COLD NORTH POLE, ALL YOU’RE GETTING IS A PIECE OF COAL! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

WHEN YOU STOP BELIEVING IN SANTA, YOU GET UNDERWEAR.

NAUGHTY OR NICE

DEAR SANTA, THIS YEAR, PLEASE GIVE ME A BIG FAT BANK ACCOUNT AND A SLIM BODY. AND PLEASE, DON’T MIX THOSE UP LIKE YOU DID LAST YEAR. THANKS

DEAR SANTA, I CAN EXPLAIN!

WHY DON’T YOU JUST SAY IT? I’M THE WORST TOY MAKER IN THE WORLD. I’M A COTTON- HEADED NINNY – MUGGINS!

ONE OF THE MOST GLORIOUS MESSES IN THE WORLD IS THE MESS CREATED IN THE LIVING ROOM ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

WHO IS SANTA’S FAVORITE SINGER? ELF-IS PRESLEY!

BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS.

WITH A CORN COB PIPE AND A BUTTON NOSE AND TWO EYES MADE OUT OF COAL

ELF WANTED: NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY, POINTY EARS AND CURLY TOES NOT REQUIRED.

MAY YOU NEVER BE TOO OLD TO SEARCH THE SKIES ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE CHRISTMAS IN YOUR HEART, YOU WON’T FIND IT UNDER A TREE.

DID YOU KNOW THAT RUDOLPH THE REINDEER NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL? HE WAS ELF TAUGHT.

THE FUNNIEST FACE LOOKED OUT AT ME FROM A SILVER BALL ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE! AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SANTA’S ELF, BUT I LOOKED AGAIN AND IT WAS MY SELF!

IT’S NOT WHAT IS UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE THAT MATTERS, IT’S WHO’S AROUND IT. – CHARLIE BROWN

IT WOULD HELP US OUT FINANCIALLY NEXT CHRISTMAS IF YOU KIDS WOULD BE NAUGHTY THIS YEAR.

WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO ELVES LISTEN TO? WRAP.

I THINK AS YOU GROW OLDER YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST GETS SHORTER, BECAUSE THE THINGS YOU WANT CAN’T BE BOUGHT.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CHRISTMAS ALPHABET AND THE ORDINARY ALPHABET? THE CHRISTMAS ALPHABET HAS NOEL!

CHRISTMAS IS A MAGICAL TIME OF YEAR … I JUST WATCHED ALL MY MONEY MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR.

TWO TIPS FOR CHRISTMAS: 1. FORGET THE PAST YOU CAN’T CHANGE IT. 2. FORGET THE PRESENT, I DIDN’T GET YOU ONE.

SANTA’S WORKSHOP – LIMITED EDITION TOYS – HANDCRAFTED IN THE NORTH POLE – MEMORIES MADE – NO CHARGE – DESIGNED BY SANTA CLAUSE – EST. 1982

“MOMMY, WHAT’S AMAZON PRIME?” “OH, SWEETIE, THAT’S WHAT THEY NAMED THE HEADQUARTERS OF SANTA’S WORKSHOP.”

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THERE WAS SO MUCH COAL HEADING SOUTH FROM THE NORTH POLE?

ELVES WANTED: MUST BE WILLING TO PLAY, BE GOOFY, HELP OTHERS AND MAKE TOYS.

ONE DAY OF COAL VERSUS 364 DAYS OF FUN. I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES.

FRIENDS ARE LIKE COALS IN A FIRE – TOGETHER, THEY GLOW; APART, THE GROW COLD.

LUMP OF COAL … SOMEONE WAS NAUGHTY AND MADE SANTA MAD. SO, THIS COAL IS YOUR GIFT ‘CUZ LET’S FACE IT: YOU WERE BAD!

SEEMS THAT YOU’VE BEEN NAUGHTY, THIS I CAN PLAINLY SEE. DETAILS OF YOUR MISCHIEF HAVE FILTERED BACK TO ME. SO, INSTEAD OF A GIFT THIS YEAR, YOU GET THESE LUMPS OF COAL. I’M HOPING THAT NEXT YEAR YOU MAKE IT YOUR GOAL.

A HUG IS THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT, ONE SIZE FITS ALL AND IT’S RETURN IS WONDERFULLY APPRECIATED.

I’VE BEEN GOOD-ISH ALL YEAR.

COAL: BEING NAUGHTY NEVER TASTED SO NICE!

WHICH OF SANTA’S REINDEER HAS BAD MANNERS? RUDE-OLPH

OH BY GOLLY HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS.

    Oh I forgot to mention, the table with the tiered dessert display- you have a winter scene out the door and the little mouse door and steps? Just so happy!!!!! Enjoyed every minute of this tour- you are talented Janice!

  • Celia Baldwin says:

    Everything is absolutely beautiful! Janice, the garland is so gorgeous and detailed all along the way! I happen to be an old soul who loves antique things so I must confess the tools and the toolbox really got me. The Santa’s Workbench just screams memories of childhood.

    It is all just a wonderful Christmas display! Every detail has been handled with such thought and care and every word chosen with such flare!

  • John Roberts says:

    What’s the matter, don’t you like GARLAND?
    This is over the top. You outdid yourself on this one. I bet you had a heck of a time cleaning this up for dinner!
    There is a ton to see and some very unique displays. I like the black garland and the gold garland especially.

    Love you lots. UJ

    I was privileged enough to see this in person! What a magical and beautiful place to be. The team did an amazing job of leaving no detail undone. My favorites include the little elves’ clothing on a line, the miniature baking pans, and the workshop. There are so many personal touches that include generations of hands. Such a beautiful place! Thanks Janice and your elves for creating such a magical place.

  • Earnie says:

    This is so cute! Love the Santa’s Workshop sign you made and all of the little details like on the silverware. Everything is beautiful you did an amazing job!

  • Myla says:

    I love this idea. You worked so hard to make every little detail count. I loved the two little gingerbread people sitting in the tiny stacked Santa Claus bowls. Hanging the elf’s clothes on the string of lights by the elf workshop was such a cute idea. You are amazing! Love you!

  • Twinda says:

    You and your elf,Ernie, created an amazing display. Love the stories about some of the items on Santas workbench belonging to many family members and the stool your daddy made in school. The garlands above the cabinets are spectacular. Beautiful!!!!!!!!
