WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE HOLIDAY TRADITION OF SANTA CLAUS BEGAN? HOW ABOUT looking at some beautiful antique Christmas cards from Germany and playing a game that revolves around Christmas carols? Click on www.santalady.com and see the Santa Bulletin Board that draws visitors from all over the world. Bozeman artist and designer Juelie McLean started the website three years ago as a way of introducing her high-quality Santa Claus dolls to prospective buyers. The site has been visited by over 100,000 people and is now drawing 2,000 visitors a day. Her dolls have been featured in a New Dehli, India, decorator magazine, she has been interviewed over the phone by the Voice of Israel, in Jerusalem, and her history of Santa Claus, compiled with a friend in England who writes books on the subject, has been quoted in the WASHINGTON POST. As the interest in her computer storefront boomed, Juelie expanded the site to include links to her own favorite Christmas sites. Juelie lives at 709 S. 3rd Ave., Bozeman, Montana 59715; phone 406-585-9225.
