"Get a Head Start on the Holidays"  

A presentation for clubs and organizations

Each year we hear people complaining that the Holiday Season has lost its magic.  They complain about the hectic, rush-rush of daily life and that everything is too stressful.  Hectic schedules leave us little time for family and fun.  There is so much to do and so little time spend with loved ones.

Haven't you heard someone say, "Next year I am going to get a head start on the Holidays!"  Well now there is a way to organize the many and sometimes hundreds of things you need or want to accomplish for the holiday season

Let Santa Tim will show you how to organize your holiday preparations, reduce stress and prepare for an enjoyable holiday season.   His simple outline breaks down the work into a simple month by month program.  If you follow his lead, you will be completely finished with your holiday shopping and decorating by December 1 and have lots of time to truly enjoy the holidays with your friends and family.

Most want that wonderful, warm feeling we see in the movies like, “Miracle on 34^th Street,” or “It’s a Wonderful Life.”  But, in today’s fast paced, internet world, many have come to realize that this joyous time of the year doesn’t seem as happy as in years past. 

We hear of friends who have spent or invested so much in decorating, gift buying and party planning they have financial worries.

And haven’t you heard more than one person say, “Next year, I’m not going to wait until the last minute to get ready for the Christmas holidays.”

The Symbols of Christmas

A presentation for clubs, schools and organizations

Presentations of "Symbols" is available for schools, service clubs and community organizations, and is tailored for presentation during the pre-Christmas months and selective dates in December. 

This story has traveled around the world, and yet it's author is unknown.  Possibly written by a minister or member of the clergy,  it is a quaint story about a parent, who one Christmas Eve, surprises Santa during his round of gift giving.  

Santa is sad and proceeds to tell the parent that many people have lost the true meanings of Christmas.  He then brings forth, from his bag, many favorite Christmas Symbols, and to each of them, he connects one or more of the true meanings of Christmas.  

Whether dressed in the traditional red suit of Santa, or in a suit as Kris Kringle, your organization will be entertained as he explains that we can find other meanings in the many symbols of Christmas and that Santa represents the gift giving and fun of Christmas. 

You will hear the story from Santa's point of view as he presents the Symbols of Christmas to his audience.  The Tree, the Star, the red ornament, the Candle, and more.  And, with each symbol, he explains to his audience how they can use that symbol to remind them of a special part in the Celebration of Christ's Birth and the "Real Reason of Christmas."  

Presentations can be tailored to any size group or audience.
