Santa Zeke February's cyber meeting is a first.

Okay buckaroos, we had our 1st ever internet meeting on February 15th, and it opened with limited success. There are still a few bugs to work out, but what's new? Early on it was agreed to have a quorum of at least 8 members to make any strong decisions, but to still discuss some topics even if we didn't meet the minimum. (We didn't make the quorum, with only 7 members showing.) Attending were Santa Walter, Santa Rick and Sheri Farley, Stacy Rose, Big Santa David, Santa David of Walnut Creek, an… Continue

Santa Zeke And So The New Year Opens With Our 1st Meeting Of 2010!

Nor Cal Santas Koffee Klatsch was well populated this Saturday. Also, a big welcome to all the Santas, helpers, and elves who have newly populated this roster. For those not experienced in reading this writer’s ramblings, the best way to describe my style is “careening.” Good luck with that. Nineteen were in attendance this morning, which includes 14 of our Santas. Participants were, in no particular order: Santa Ed Eckert…Milpitas Santa Walter Roach…San Jose Reindeer Debbie Roach…San Jose Santa… Continue

Santa Zeke Santa makes the SF Chronicle!

A business reporter for the Chron interviewed me back when I was just starting out as a RBS back in 2006. She kept my name on file and followed up with a long interview complete with a photographer tailing me for about 3 1/2 hours on one of the days. What a strange feeling to wake up to your mug on the front page of a major newspaper! http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/12/21/MNH11B1R… Continue

Elf Chris Santas I have known

Santas I have known Tuesday, December 23, 2008 Dixie Frantz There used to be a large wooden sign plastered across the furrdown that separated our kitchen from the breakfast room that read, “I Believe in Santa Claus.” Unfortunately, right after Christmas about 10 years ago, the family decided the furrdown needed to come down … something about us bumping our noggins 10 too many times. Yep, that evening after dinner, hubby took a sledge ham… Continue

Elf Chris Two More Believers

As Posted on Santa Talk. Santa Zeke writes this: As my work was winding down on Friday night with the last minute parents shuttling their kids into the line before we closed, a gentleman and his friend were looking inside my cottage set in the middle of Alameda Towne Centre. The man explained that he was going to bring his kids in to see Santa tomorrow and he wanted to bring them to just the right place. He was from Botswana, and his children had never been to see Santa Claus in his homeland, s… Continue
