Santa Charlie A

Overview
I do home visits, Corp Events, Parades, Tree Lightings, HOA Events, and I have been a volunteer (I live in a retired, gated community) and we do a Ginger Bread event every Christmas. Usually, we end up with 2 sittings, approximately 45 children each sitting. I have also done a Breakfast with Santa event at the local Country Club. Not that it pertains directly to Santa, but I also coached Roller Hockey for 11 years. I guess I have always loved being with children.

What to Expect
Over the last 3 years, I have taken many classes on portraying Santa Claus. I have learned to mingle with the audience and involve both the old and the young in the experience. I have learned to read stories (like The Night Before Christmas -Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer) and a few to be kept under that big belt I wear. HO HO HO Move around from table to table. Talk to families, get photos taken, and of course talk to each child and find out what they are expecting for Christmas. Then be on my merry way!!
About
I guess bit ball started when my 3 boys were young: They enjoyed playing both Ice Hockey and Roller Hockey. I spent much of my time getting them to their games and staying to watch. Other parents said I should try coaching. Much to my surprise I really enjoyed being around the kids, so I ended up doing this for 11 years, giving up my time to help teach the boys at night and for one league taking two weeks off every summer for away tournaments. That is when I realized my love for being around children. When I retired, we moved into a gated community of 55 and over folks. We do an event every Christmas for the grandchildren, of which Santa Claus is the main character. Being rotund and of white hair, I was asked if I wanted to portray the jolly old boy.
I went out and bought a suit with a wig, beard, and the suit to go with it. Well, I had so much fun I decided to grow a beard and let my hair grow. Have a couple of suits made and here I am six years later, still loving making both young and old happy every holiday season!
Additional Booking Notes
I am fairly basic. Pretty much a chair large enough for one perhaps two children to sit beside me. A fan that will blow some air at me and some decent lighting so pictures will look right.
