When Santa Harold arrived my kiddos were super excited!! They kept running to the window to see when Santa Harold was walking up the front stairs. From the front door meet and greet, taking cute photos, to celebrating with my kiddos, and his last words before he left...everything went so smooth. We had a hiccup in our guests but Santa Harold made sure he stayed until our last guests were able to see him. We absolutely adored Santa Harold's presence with us, last Saturday, at our son Giovanni's 8th birthday party!! Everyone was blown away to see santa sitting in our front living room!! I was given many compliments on how much they loved his personality & how delightful he was to be around. Overall, he was the "hit of the party" & the "icing on the cake." We all love and adore meeting and spending time with Santa Harold. I really can't wait to bring him back next year!! If your looking to book santa for your next event, don't hesitate with Santa Harold!! He's an absolute joy to be around && was so amazing with the kiddos. Have a very Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays. Xo With Love, The Rosales Family
