]]>Very Special Event at Celebrate Santa!
And now we can finally announce our special evening for Sunday, March 14, 2010. We have spoken with Misters Hartke and Mesler, and we have worked out a VERY special event that we are calling “An Evening with St. Nicholas”. For a $10.00 ticket we will have a special evening with the stars and writer/director of Nicholas of Myra where we will have excerpts from the movie, autographs with the stars (yes more than one or two), pictures with you and your families, and refreshments and transportation to and from the (Celebrate Santa) hotels.
Nicholas of Myra
This open reception with the cast and friends of the upcoming motion picture, Nicholas of Myra: The story of St. Nicholas will begin at 8:00 pm and go until 10:00 pm. Our special guests will be available to talk with everyone about their ideas, goals and plans for the movie as well as the reasons they are so passionate to bring the story of the “Original” Santa Claus to the big screen.
This will be a once in a lifetime event to talk ‘behind the scenes’ with the makers of this wonderful docudrama, and believe us when we say there is far more to this story then you have heard and seen so far. Also Gerald Hartke, the writer/director of the movie and Grand Marshal of the Holly & Shamrock Parade will be issuing a special invitation to all in attendance that evening.

The Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas (FORBS) will once again join forces with the International Order of Santas (IOS) to commemorate this annual tradition– a Santa Luncheon has been held in Southern California every January for the past SIXTEEN YEARS!
Crown Plaza Hotel
Once again, the entire Christmas Community will converge upon Knott’s Berry Farm Resort Hotel to enjoy a world-class luncheon, renewing past friendships and making new friends.
Over 300 Santas, Mrs. Clauses, Elves, Vendors and guests milled around the spacious venue throughout the 2009 Luncheon– browsing an amazing selection of Christmas merchandise, watching the now-famous annual Santa Fashion Show, winning amazing door prizes and enjoying a delicious meal in the rarified company of HUNDREDS of Jolly Jents!
Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas
This year, the Santa Reunion Luncheon executive committee has somehow managed to find several ways to improve the event– in addition to the Saturday Luncheon event, there will be a Friday morning no-host breakfast, and the opportunity to join ;the contingent of FORBSantas who will descend upon the “Medieval Times” Dinner Theatre in Buena Park. That legendary enclave will reverberate with our thunderous applause and cheers of support for the “Red Knight”–and get this: the KING of Medieval Times is also a Real-Bearded Santa!!!
We sincerely hope that you are able to join us for this phenomenal annual gathering and participate in all of the festivities throughout the jovial reunion weekend.
Please help us spread the word to all those that enjoy the SPIRIT of the SEASON.
If you have any questions, feel free to drop me an e-mail (SUBJECT: LUNCHEON) to: santanellie@mac.com. Santa Nellie Nelson Burke Luncheon Chairman
