Santa Steve Idaho and Mrs Claus enjoyed a day by the pool. Much Christmas cheer was shared!

If you see Santa or Mrs Claus out and about, ask them for a “Summer with Santa”sticker! Show us what you did with yours.

Have you heard of Idaho Battle of the Books? Well if you had been there in May you probably could have spotted The Santa Couple.

This Elf competed with his school and did such an amazing job!

Did you know that even Santa has to go to school? Mrs Claus and and Santa Steve Idaho had to have their annual training and they passed with flying colors!

Dear Friends,

After 24 wonderful years as The Santa Couple, Vernon and I have officially retired from all in‑person Santa and Mrs. Claus visits. We have loved every moment of sharing Christmas joy with families, and we are deeply grateful for the memories.

We are happy to share that we have passed our in‑person Santa ministry on to a wonderful new Santa Couple — Steve and Wendy Kalina. They are warm, kind, and full of Christmas cheer, and we know you will love them.

If you need to book an in‑person Santa visit, you may contact them here:

In this cozy online space, we’ll be sharing:
• Claus Pauses — short written or video moments of joy
• Occasional devotionals and simple scriptures
• Kindness ideas
• Creative keepsake ideas
• Gentle reminders of God’s love and goodness
• A little Christmas wonder all year long

We would love to stay connected with you.

A New Season at the North Pole — And We’d Love Your Thoughts

Dear friends,

After 24 wonderful years of visiting homes, churches, classrooms, and community events, Santa and I find ourselves in a new season of life. We are no longer offering in‑person visits, but we’ve been praying and dreaming about a new way to continue sharing Christmas joy.

We’ve been considering something called North Pole Keepsake Studio — a warm, faith‑filled space where we would create personalized keepsake videos for families, children, classrooms, and anyone who needs a little extra encouragement.

Our ideas include:

• Personalized Video Messages
• Storytime with Mrs. Claus
• Classroom Encouragement Videos
• Christmas Eve Blessing Videos

Before we invest in equipment and rearrange our little “North Pole room,” we would truly value your honest thoughts.

Do you feel this is a meaningful direction? Would these keepsake videos be something families or classrooms might enjoy?

Your insight will help us decide whether to move forward just hang up the Santa and Mrs. Claus costumes.

And for those who still want in‑person Santa and Mrs. Claus visits, we have wonderful news. We have passed The Santa Couple ministry on to a delightful new Santa couple — Steve and Wendy Kalina. They carry the same heart for families and the same gentle, faith‑filled spirit. You can reach them at [email protected] or 208‑908‑8830. We know you will love them.

Thank you for welcoming us into your homes for so many years. Now, perhaps, we may welcome you into ours in a new way.

❤️ The Claus Couple
