LMSP Operation Santa Claus

10/21/2025

We are getting close to kicking off our 7th season of Operation Santa Claus 🥰

Over 150 gifts were wrapped last year thanks to your generosity and wrapping donations.

From now until December I will be collecting wrapping supplies. This could be holiday wrapping paper (partial and/or new rolls are great!), gift bags, gift boxes, tissue paper.

I am in St Pete and happy to pick up or meet around town.

Thanks guys! Looking forward to this new season 🥰🎅🏼🤶🏼

Hi all!

Wishlists are still coming. We are giving the facility a little more time to fine tune those Christmas wishes ✨

In the meantime, we can focus on a few other things that would be very appreciated (these items do not need to be new, just in good condition)👇🏼
▫️a Christmas tree, lights, ornaments
▫️other Christmas decor for rooms and/or common areas
▫️puzzles, games, books (these won’t be specific gifts, they will go to the home in general)
▫️TVs
▫️wrapping paper (can be partially used rolls), gift bags, gift boxes

I do also have our official group up and running as well. All the fun stuff along the way will be shared there 🥹 LMSP - Operation Santa Claus 2024

Year five (2023)

We tackled another nursing home of 80+ residents. We added games and a sing a long to the delivery day as well 🎶

Year four (2022)

Our first year adopting a nursing home. Over 75 elderly residents of St Pete who otherwise would not have received gifts for the holidays. We filled 5 vehicles with gifts, snacks, and handmade stockings. Our elves dressed the part and showed up to the home ready to spread holiday cheer.

This became our new focus for the foreseeable future.

Year three (2021)

Added even more families to the mix. Four families, for a total of 14 people. Filled two vehicles delivering all the gifts 🛻🚗🎁

Year two (2020)

The world shut down for Covid. My late husband and I got married. Hurricane Eta payed Florida a visit.

With the additional help we decided to take on two families. 4 adults, 4 kids, and a couple doggies. Again, my expectations were exceeded and we got everything on their wishlists.

Our first year (2019) we thought we could get a few people together and help out a local family. The idea caught on fast and we had more help than I expected. 🥹 We end up with tree full of gifts, a Christmas tree, and 3 bicycles. All hand wrapped and delivered 🎄🚲

It was such a special feeling to be able to do it, I knew it had to become a tradition. 🤶🏼🎅🏼
