Santa Claus Tartan

[Santa Edson]

There is a Clan Claus Society along with it's own Santa Tartan.
This is a new society and is in the process of official recognition as such. The tartan has been designed and has been approved by the tartan registry in Scotland.
The society itself is made up of those who portray Santa Claus and his supporters.
More information is at www.clanclaussociety.com

The tartan colours are

* Red: Is the Traditional color of Santa Claus.
* Green: For the Evergreen, Holly & Mistletoe which represents Christmas Traditions.
* Yellow: Three bands of Yellow to represent the Three Bags of Gold that St. Nicholas gave to the Three Daughters of the Merchant.
* White: Two bands of White for Purity, and for the Snow and Ice of the North Pole.

I've always found my clan tartan to be a bit "Christmasy", but perhaps it would work well for this application! Here are the Maxwell and Maxwell Hunting tartans:

My mother brought me a tie from Scotland, it's the Kerr tartan. I wear it during Christmas. The colors are red and green. My wife said I should get a kilt to match it. Perhaps, Santa will bring it next Christmas.
I think you would like good with this tartan.

Our tartan is recorded with the Scottish Tartan Authority.

The Clan Claus Society


On the 1st day of June in the year 2008, Santa Claus authorized the formation of The Clan Claus Society



Purpose & Mission

The Clan Claus Society embodies the desire to preserve and perpetuate the history, ideals, traditions, family values, and heritage of the Scottish Santa Claus persona.

The Clan Claus Society is fundamentally different from any other Santa group. All members will participate in an organization that is totally "FAMILY" oriented. As such, the Society invites like-minded individuals to join together to share in the Christmas family camaraderie and to encourage others to uphold the traditions of the Scottish Santa Claus persona throughout the year keeping the Spirit of Christmas alive in the hearts of all ages.

The Clan Claus Society will take an active role in all Santa oriented events. Members will be encouraged to participate in these events and will be expected to represent The Society in a friendly, jovial manner maintaining the dignity of the persona. Plans are to debut The Clan Claus Society at the Celebrate Santa Convention in March 2009, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

The goal of The Clan Claus Society is to be represented in every State and Province, and as many Countries as possible.


Each State, Province or Country may apply for a Charter(Charter requires a minimum of twelve (12) members in good standing for any application to be considered.)
Once a Charter is approved, they may elect an Advisory Board if they so choose.
They may conduct meetings and hold Clan Claus gatherings in compliance with The Clan Claus Code of Conduct.
The may not collect dues of any kind.
They may hold fundraisers, obtain independent sponsorships and or request voluntary donations.
Under no circumstances may they violate the Paid for Life Membership Policy of The Clan Claus Society or refuse any Clan Member in good standing entrance to any Clan event because the member did not make a "Voluntary Donation".
Members are encouraged to take an active role in their state and regional Highland Games, local parades and other activities - always portraying Santa in an appropriate and positive manner.



The Organizational Structure

The Clan Claus Society will not be incorporated and will not have officers. The Society will function as a Social Organization under the leadership of the Founder and Chairman. The Advisory Board comprised of four (4) members selected by the Founder and Chairman from the Membership and or other related professions and organizations. The members of this Advisorty Board will serve for a term to be specified at a later date. A listing of the current Advisory Board Members and their contact information can be found under the Menu Heading "Contact Us".

The Society is registered with the Internal Revenue Service and the EIN number has been issued. The need to file for Tax Exempt Status has not been determined at this time.

All necessary trademarks, copyrights, website registrations, and any other legal or accounting documentation will be secured by the Founder and Chairman. The Founder and Chairman will be the custodian of these documents on behalf of The Clan Claus Society.

Forgive me. I do not have permission to share the image of this Santa yet, I did ask for it, however this should give you an idea of the Santa Claus Tartan.



Believe me it looks really good on this full bearded Santa. I've asked him to join here with us, so I guess we'll wait. He was one of the very first to order and receive his kilt. through the Society.

Until I heard back from Santa Kona today, I wasn't sure how much I could put out other than the links previously posted.
Now I know that we can post information here as much as this membership will allow. Thanks for coming in here with me.

To answer another post, Edson is the clue. Halfway between Edmonton and Jasper.

I had been talking to the English fellow that I hired this summer, And had commented that somehow tartan seems to have become a christmas tradition. You alway see table cloths, tea towels, christmas crackers etc. He told me that he didn't know how it had happened either but they always had a tartan shortbread tin at christmas. Now I know it is because like all good people santa wats to be kilted too. Welcome too our KILTED SANTAS. I think the santa tartan is great!
