Santa Craig has been a professional Santa for over 14 seasons. He is an experienced portrayal artist and story teller. Known for his reindeer stories, he especially loves talking with children finding out their hopes and dreams .
Santa Craig created Adventures with Santa six years ago. A typical event will include a grand entrance followed by a group song or two. He follows up with one of his many stories centered around Christmas traditions. He then meets with each child or family to discuss their wishes and a photo session.
Often the conclusion is telling the poem, The Night Before Christmas.
