Hello-ho-ho {{first_name | default: Friend}},
It's Craig Cringle - Santa Craig, and the person behind The Enchanted Missive. It's been a little while since you've heard from me, and I wanted to pop back in and say hello. A lot has happened. Merryvale Letters, our stories told through the mail service, has launched. The Merryvale property is coming alive (and we'll soon be talking to builders). I was elected to the Board of Directors and subsequently elected President of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas (IBRBS) nonprofit. And I have an elf named Jellybean answering my booking line now - yes, really.
As I said, it's a busy time.
We had to find a new newsletter service for The Enchanted Missive because we outgrew our old one - great problem to have! So The Enchanted Missive is coming back real soon. Expect stories, updates, and a little Christmas magic in your inbox on a regular basis.
We are also booking now for Christmas 2026 events, home visits, and photography sessions.
If you don't remember signing up or just want a cleaner inbox, the unsubscribe link is below - no hard feelings at all. We try not to overcommunicate and clutter things up.
But if you want to follow along as we build something truly magical here in North Alabama, I'm glad you're on the list.
More soon.
