Warm and inclusive Santa!

Santa came to my workplace for a holiday night with the young children of my colleagues and myself. He was amazing in greeting and chatting with each child. What was most impressive was the Q&A session where enthusiastic and curious kids asked him a gazillion questions, and he was able to answer each one so well, especially when asked why he looked different from Santas in movies, etc. We loved inclusive Santa! It was very evident that he was super professional and prepared.

Awesome, wonderful, delightful & soulful Santa!!

We held an Evening With Santa for our employees & families and received nothing but positive feedback: "I love how he interacted with the children and made them feel comfortable" " Storytime was the best, "My whole family thought he was excellent. We've never seen Santa carry himself with so much style. He was warm and patient with the kids. Story time with Santa was particularly fun." "My kids enjoyed Santa." "OMG Santa was Awesome." "Santa was on point! Great job and I love how he touched on diversity in his story. Two Thumbs Up!" The list goes on and on. Soulful Santa was absolutely wonderful. If you have the opportunity to book him, please take advantage. He will make your event magical for the young and young at heart.

What to Expect

I am a Professional, African-American, Real White-Bearded, Soulful Santa influenced by the historical story of the original Saint Nicholas of Myra, the Wonderworker. Saint Nicholas is legendarily known for his selfless and secret gift-giving reputation and for being recognized as the historical inspiration and origin of Santa Claus and all the related names by which Santa is called worldwide. Saint Nicholas of Myra is the legendary figure that gave rise to the traditional model of how we see and accept the personage of Santa Claus today across diverse cultures around the world. Saint Nicholas was diverse in his selfless gift giving, and his reputation gave inspiration to diverse cultures, peoples, and populations across the then known world and even unto now persistently continuing the representation of his exemplary tradition.

I happily engage with Infants, Children and Adult Believers of all ages, cultures, diversities, persuasions, and in varying holiday occasions and event situations to bring, instill, and renew Acceptance, Belief, Care, Happiness, Hope, Joy, Kindness, Love, Peace, Sincerity, Trust, Value, and Wonder into People, their Lives, and into the Event Occasion. I answer questions and provide Santa Magic explanations. I give time and attention to each individual, group, or event occasion making their being there enjoyable, memorable, and worthwhile. I adapt to the occasion and within the event, and I work to deliver and impress beyond the set expectation.

I am available year-round for Home / Location Visits, HOA / Rental Housing Association Occasions, Personal / Business / Company / Corporate Events / Parties / Occasions, Professional or Personal Photography Shoots and Modeling Sessions, Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Supper Celebrations, Daycare Days, Schools, Emcee, Festivals / Celebrations / Ceremonies / Parades, Trade Shows, Tree Lighting Ceremonies, Commercial and Marketing Promotions and Campaigns, Film / Movie / TV / Radio / Voice Over / Print / Internet Advertising and Marketing, Motivational Messaging, Public Speaking Engagements, Virtual Visit / Zoom Sessions, and of course, Brand Ambassadorship Promotions.

Thank you for considering me, Soulful Santa Maurice, as your Christmas Santa Ambassador of choice!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

Influences & Inspiration

I am influenced by the Original Saint Nicholas of Myra, also known as Nicholas of Bari, who was an early Christian bishop of Greek descent from the maritime city of Myra in Asia Minor during the time of the Roman Empire. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. Would we each and all be as giving and selfless as he, we could truly help to better others, ourselves, and our world in return.

Setup Requirements

Client is to provide a suitable Santa Chair, Perch, or other Santaesque Seated Platform and ornamental environmentals to their preference to complete the Santa Experience.

Santa requests private and secluded changing quarters onsite where arrival in portrayal is not a requirement. A clean, private, and secluded restroom to use is preferred to maintain the Santa Mistique. Where possible, protect Santa's event entry and exit.
