SANTA'S TEXAS WORKSHOP IS STILL OPEN

 



SANTA'S TEXAS WORKSHOP

1188 East County Road 401   Falfurrias, TX  78355

361-325-2068


Santa's Texas Workshop (our Christmas store):
1983 - 2022
We have been in business for 39 years.



We have rebranded our Christmas store as a place to sell our vintage and lovingly-used decorations from our personal collections of 50+ years (actually all our lives!)

Appointments are available to come to the store. We ask for no more than 4 shoppers in a group (a couple would count as one shopper). Call 361-325-2068 and ask for Janie.

The only new retail items we are stocking and reordering are the beautiful and unique RHYTHM MUSICAL AND MOTION CLOCKS. We've been an authorized dealer since the summer of 1998. You can call to inquire about the clocks. We do not sell them online, BUT THEY ARE ON DISPLAY IN THE STORE. (Appointments, please!) I can also answer questions by phone or send pictures by email or text!

We still carry some merchandise that was brand new when, in March, 2020, we closed the store due to the Pandemic. We also shut down the tours of The Christmas House at that time, and we don't plan to reopen our home to the public. We have officially retired from doing that! (Yes, we miss it after all these years of doing it!)

That new merchandise has been on sale 1/2 price (or more off) since that time. It will remain on sale as long as the supply lasts.

NEARLY ALL ITEMS FROM OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION ARE one-of-a-kind except for ornaments. We have lots of ornaments from themes that we did in The Christmas House. They are NOT expensive, but they are beautiful, cute, and inspirational, etc.! (Many of them were very expensive when they were new. We just want all of our beautiful things to go to "forever homes" where they will be loved.)

We have a business Facebook page Click Here on which Janie posts things we are selling. Those items can be ordered and shipped. (Buyer pays the shipping cost.) Instructions for ordering are in the post with each item. 

Also, if you order from our Facebook page and you live near enough, we will hold the item(s) for you and you may pick them up and pay for them (cash, check, MC/V/DISC) at the store. People who do that usually bring a few others (limited to 4 shoppers & by appointment only) and do some shopping while they are here! We now have the store as always, but we have "fixed up" one of our storerooms to be a showroom also! (Wow! 2 venues for shopping!)

Janie also is posting our personal collection items (especially the vintage ones) on specialty "Buy and Sell" Facebook pages. We have been shipping those items to people across the U.S. We have even shipped a few to Europe!

It seems to us, as we go through our warehouse (1500 sq. ft.) and other storerooms, that we have a "never-ending supply" of our personal inventory. So, make an appointment to come to the store. Check out our business Facebook page. Click Here You might find just what you've been looking for!



(A few months ago, a woman who was always a regular Christmas House visitor and shopper in our store, called and made an appointment to come to the store and bring a friend. When she walked in, she was amazed! She said, "I thought that the store would be almost empty by now!" We told her that we're not sure if that will ever happen! When customers leave, there are empty spaces in our displays, on the shelves, etc. However, we just go to one of our storerooms and find different things to take their place! We will probably never sell it all, but we are trying!)



If you remember decorations/figurines/collections/etc. from your visits to The Christmas House in the past and are interested, you can inquire about them. Nearly everything is (or is going to be) for sale.

 

Please feel free to share this page and this info with your family and friends.

(Even though most of what we are selling is our own personal property, we are required by Texas state law to charge our location's sales tax (.0675%) on all items purchased at our store or shipped to Texas addresses. All orders shipped out-of-state are tax free!)
