Santa Stories

For nearly 20 years, the City of Sierra Vista has displayed 53 Old World Santas in Veterans Memorial Park each holiday season. In this episode, we share some of the stories tied to these Santas, both the original ones made out of wood and paint, and the new ones on display today that were recreated to stand the test of time. [1:20] Former Mayor Tom Hessler and Artist Sue Ann Vannoy talk about creating the original Old World Santas display for the City’s 50th anniversary in 2006. [27:01] Wesley and Donna Hewitt tell the story behind the Cookie Break Santa, which was sponsored in honor of City employee James Hodgson after he passed away. [44:18] Amy Diesen shares how she sponsored the Weinachtsmann Santa in honor of her late son. The Weinachtsmann is one of the two latest Santas released as collectible ornaments. [51:19] Jen Brown recounts how she became such an avid collector of the Old World Santas ornaments that her husband even made her a framed display. [53:27] Steve Brown shares the story behind why his family sponsored the Swedish Tompte Santa in honor of Barbara Rydberg Brown, the great grandniece of Swedish Poet Laureat Viktor Rydberg, who authored the classic poem Tomten.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
