| jolly old santa claus ideals: Jolly Old Santa Claus Sparkie, George (Sparkie) Hinke, 1996-07 Jolly Old Santa Claus, whose author was known only as Sparkie,Ó was first published by Ideals magazine in 1961. This vol. republishes this collector's ed. featuring Hinke's oil paintings along with the original story. Hinke was born in Germany, in 1883 & schooled in a classic painting. From 1944 until 1953, he created many works of art for Ideals. The paintings shown here are rendered in oil on stretched canvas. The influence of his German background is evident: from Santa's castle, which resembles the castles of Bavarian kings, to the Black Forest clock on the wall of Santa's workshop, to the elves themselves, reminiscent of stone characters that decorate German gardens. |
| jolly old santa claus ideals: Are You Grumpy, Santa? Gregg Spiridellis, 2008-09-16 Sometimes even the merriest, most cheerful guy on the planet wakes up on the wrong side of the bed… First, after a restless night due to Mrs. Claus's snoring, Santa awakes on Christmas morning and stubs his toe. Then the elves shrink his suit, his sleigh gets buried in a snowdrift, and he gets stuck in a chimney. Santa’s had just about enough! But just in the nick of time, he discovers a very special gift of milk and cookies waiting for him. As he munches on the delicious snack, Santa's remembers what Christmas is all about—the gift of love—and, merrily, his grumpies melt away. Now available as a board book, this merrily irreverent Yuletide story, brought to life by Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, will tickle funny bones and touch hearts far and wide. |

| jolly old santa claus ideals: The True Saint Nicholas William J. Bennett, 2009-10-27 Former secretary of education and New York Times bestselling author William Bennett blends his historical expertise with his gift for storytelling into a heartwarming book about the man who ultimately became known as Santa Claus. Beloved writer and speaker William Bennett brings the legendary Saint Nicholas to life in this fascinating and faith-affirming book that will change the way you think about Santa Claus and the meaning of Christmas. Bennett reflects on Saint Nicholas’s storied life, which has spanned seventeen centuries across Europe, Asia, and Africa, and reveals an inspiring tale of devotion to God and an example of eternal goodness. The True Saint Nicholas: Why He Matters to Christmas focuses on three aspects of Saint Nicholas—historical facts from his life, his legacy in the centuries following his death, and the legendary status that transformed his likeness into the present-day jolly, toy-bearing Santa Claus. The book vividly captures the heart and life of someone who lived long ago—and yet whose life remains an inspiration for everyone to aspire to a higher order of generosity, giving, and devotion to others. An instant classic by one of America’s most respected thinkers, The True Saint Nicholas is a memorable keepsake to be shared with family and friends every year to evoke the true spirit of Christmas. |

| jolly old santa claus ideals: Three Christmas Wishes Sheila Roberts, 2020-12-07 A delightful tale of three friends, three wishes, and one Christmas when anything can happen, by a USA Today–bestselling author. When three friends visit a shopping-mall Santa on a lark, the jolly old elf is full of mysterious predictions about the thing they’re all wishing for: the perfect man. Or at least men who are perfect for them. Riley Erickson’s fiancé turned out to be a dud, dumping her for her bridesmaid three weeks before the wedding. But Santa says that she’s soon going to meet her ideal man in a memorable way. And he predicts that a new man is about to come into Jo’s life. What on earth does that mean? She’s pregnant and already has her hands full with the perfectly stubborn husband she’s got. Noel has given up completely on ever finding her perfect match. But apparently Noel is going to get a good man to go with that house she’s trying desperately to buy. These friends are about to discover that Christmas wishes can come true, because in spite of romantic setbacks and derailed dreams, this truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Previously published Praise for Three Christmas Wishes “[Three Christmas Wishes]is filled with Roberts’s trademark humor along with a generous serving of family, friends, and holiday cheer plus three sweet romances.” —The Romance Dish “This is small-town living at its best. Right down to the newspaper reporter. I laughed and ooh and awed with the rest of the characters, all of which are top notch in their roles. I would recommend this book to anyone. It would even make a good movie. I need to go brush up on Ms. Roberts’ other holiday reads.” —The Good, the Bad, and the Unread |

| jolly old santa claus ideals: When Prophecy Fails Leon Festinger, Stanley Schachter, 2013-04-01 The study reported in this volume grew out of some theoretical work, one phase of which bore specifically on the behavior of individuals in social movements that made specific (and unfulfilled) prophecies. We had been forced to depend chiefly on historical records to judge the adequacy of our theoretical ideas until we by chance discovered the social movement that we report in this book. At the time we learned of it, the movement was in mid-career but the prophecy about which it was centered had not yet been disconfirmed. We were understandably eager to undertake a study that could test our theoretical ideas under natural conditions. That we were able to do this study was in great measure due to the support obtained through the Laboratory for Research in Social Relations of the University of Minnesota. This study is a project of the Laboratory and was carried out while we were all members of its staff. We should also like to acknowledge the help we received through a grant-in-aid from the Ford Foundation to one of the authors, a grant that made preliminary exploration of the field situation possible. |
