International Santa Claus Collection (w/ Jeff Loftin)

What’s up, dudes? ’Twas the night before Half-Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there! Yes, he’s the magical gift bringer that makes  children all over the world happy. Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas is with me to talk all about the International Santa Claus Collection!

International Resources, LLC was established 1991 in Northbrook, IL. The company designs, contract manufactures, markets, and sells collectibles primarily during the Christmas season, under the trademarked names of “Liberty Falls” and “International Santas.” The figurines are hand painted resin and reflect gift bringers from traditions all over the world.

In 1822, from the talented mind of Prof. Clement Clark Moore, came one of the most popular poems ever created, “A Visit from Saint Nicholas”. And thus the legend of St. Nicholas, spanning more than 1,700 years through every country in Europe, continued to flourish in the United States. Starting with Nicholas, the Turkish patron saint of children, who gave away bags of gold coins stuffed into stockings and shoes, through Russia, Holland and into England, Nicholas has evolved from many different appearances and an equally large number of names.
