Santa Tim was amazing!! He stayed in touch with me for several weeks before our event. That gave me great confidence he was responsible and would show up. He kept in touch with me during his drive to our event and was not only on time but a little early.
When he entered our party there was no doubt Santa had arrived. The crowd got a little quiet and seemed in awe of his presence. We had an area set up for him to sit with the children and he spent about an hour visiting with them and taking pictures. Once there were no more children in line he got up and moved around the party visiting with the adults. I got a lot of very positive comments from the adults about how cool it was that Santa spent time with them too. After mingling with the adults, he went back to the children, removed his beautiful long coat and tossed a football with the kids. OMG, how many kids can say they played catch with Santa Clause!!
There is nothing "mall santa" about Tim. Old world elegance all the way in his appearance and personality.
If there were any non-believers at our party, they are believers now!
We will defiantly be booking Tim next year for our annual party and would recommend him to everyone. Book early, he is going to be busy!
