Event Christmas in July 2025

[LadyLynn]

Our goal for Santa's Sleigh 2025 is $10,000 - our highest in history.

But it's not as great as it seems. We had a few really large and very last minute contributions on Christmas Eve last year and we honestly did not have time to distribute it all. Those funds, as well as those collected year-to-date for membership fees here at the Merry Forums have us sitting on about $4000 as we head into the 2nd half of the year.

In other words, I think we can do it!

We will be making a little push for some advertising here and at SantasSleigh.org with Gold Star Sponsorships. Literally any person or any business can become a Gold Star Sponsor. If you know of someone who could use the exposure and wants to help the cause please send them my way.

Thank you always for supporting the humble work of Santa's Sleigh.

Jeff, what size donation does it take to be a Gold Star sponsor?

Ah.... hahaha...I have no idea. I'll work with anyone on it.

It's that time - time to Make a Merry Member! And there's a new twist this year:

1. Any new member joining the Merry Forums thru 7/31/25 will be upgraded to a 3-month Premiere Membership at MyMerryChristmas.com.

2. Any forum member who isn't Premiere but wants to try it out can - just message me and I'll make it happen.

3. Any forum member can gift a premiere membership for any forum member who doesn't have one - and doing so extends their own Premiere membership by 3-months as well.

As is our tradition, any new member joining under our Make a Merry Member event can join the Christmas Card Exchange and/or the Ornament Exchange, even if they don't decide to renew their Premiere membership.

@Jeff Westover Kringle's stream is down

Sorry, I've restarted it again....we are 22 minutes behind.....

@Jeff Westover it sounds like tracking Santa is on a Glen Warren hour. I know he was not an hour 2 DJ.

That's what it says it's playing. I've been wrestling with this for 2 hours now.

 

[e_xander]

Well…that’s weird. I could be wrong, I’m not on my computer to verify. I hope I didn’t do something to mess that up

 

[Jeff Westover]

I've reordered it and will restart again at the top of the hour on hour 3. Sorry about this.

 

[Jeff Westover]

It's definitely not us, it's the station software.

It's definitely not us, it's the station software.

Ugh!!

 

[Jeff Westover]

Yes, we will be moving to a new host. This isn't hard.

 

[Jeff Westover]

Ok, I think we're back on track now. I'm going to just let this loop for a few days beyond our scheduled time so that people can hear those first two hours again. This is two days of a great variety of music....

 

[e_xander]

I just heard the reset…sounding good now.
