Santa's Overland Express
North Pole Mobile Santa Claus Shop dispatched from Irvington, Virginia

Bringing SANTA CLAUS to Children and Families
Dedicated to Keeping
Christ in Christmas


Santa - Contact Our Mobile Santa Claus Shop Based in Irvington, Virginia, for Santa Claus Photos and to Keep Christ in Christmas.    

Santa's Overland Express is a mobile Santa Claus shop that has been in operation for more than eight years.

This ministry is dedicated to keeping
CHRIST in Christmas by bringing Santa to children (more accessible to families) with the option of Santa Claus photos throughout our regional area. We also give out bookmarks and craft projects to the young and old.

Our
Santa Claus is dressed up in an old European Santa uniform and is presented in a mobile, high impact, child size, red unit with black and white checkered floors with a magic carpet, and pictures of reindeer on the wall. Santa shows the kids the key to the Reindeer Barn and a special key that opens doors where there is no fireplace. The Manger Scene is populated by Teddy Bears.

We take our services to strip malls, business owners, municipalities, nonprofits, town halls, and parking lots, by contract.

Reserve our mobile services for a minimum of 4 hours and up. It's so much fun and rewarding for the community.

Contact
SANTA to discuss charges and dates.

Upkeep and feeding of Reindeer, plus cost of toy manufacturing gets higher everyday!


Would you like to have a Christmas Wedding, officiated by Santa Himself?
Bookings accepted for Monday-Saturday (daytime) and Sunday evening ceremonies.

Bringing Santa to the Children for Pictures or Just a Special Visit! Santa can write to your child and commend good behavior, Church attendance, study habits, and health issues. Remind Santa of info about each child, age (birthdate), interests/hobbies, race and areas in which you wish Santa to address ($12.50 donation includes postage).

Christmas Tree - Contact our mobile Santa Claus shop based in Irvington, Virginia, for Santa Claus photos and to keep Christ in Christmas.

'Tis the Reason for the Season:

"Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you; He is Christ the lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger"
(Gospel of Luke 2:11-12)


This is the verse spread across the rear door of our Santa mobile

as we share the Gospel on the way to share Santa.


Wishing you A very Merry Christmas!

Christmas in Scotand
In one of Santa's ancestorial home, Scotland, the season is
most always celebrated on New Year's Dalled as Hogmanay.
It seems to have dreived its custom from the dire predctions of what would happen
if the fireplace shold go dark on Christmas Eve, while all the elves are abroad helping Santa.
Christmas Day is a tie for bonfires, dancingand the plying of bagpipes.
Boncakes, made of oatmeal, are traditionaly the table fare.
Christmas in England

Christmas celebrations began in England perhaps in AD 596, when St Augustine landed on her shores with monks who
wanted to bring Christianity to the Anglo Saxons. Folks enjoy beautiful Christmas music, especially decorating
Christmas Trees and the hanging of evergreen branches. Mummering remains a custom from the Middle Ages, when folks
put on masks and acted out Christmas plays; still performed in towns and villages. Santa is known as Father Christmas,
who wears a long red or green robe, to leave presents in stockings on Christmas Eve. Children leave an empty stocking
or pillowcase hanging at the end of the bed. Gifts are opened Christmas afternoon. Christmas dinner is usually eaten
at noon on December 25. A traditional Christmas dinner consists of roast turkey with vegetables and sauces. Dessert
is a rich, fruity Christmas pudding with brandy sauce; mince pies, and pastries filled with chopped dried fruit.
The day after Christmas is called Boxing Day because boys used to go round collecting money in clay boxes, which the
lads and lasses broke open.
