This guy is a professional Santa Claus in the late great job I highly recommend him for upcoming events.
I give Jeffery an A+
Santa Jeffrey created a Christmas memory for a lifetime for the children and adults alike. He was wonderful and I know these children had a day they will never forget. I can't express how much we appreciate his attention before, during, and after our class event. The children loved him and the adults did too. He made every child feel special and was so easy to work with that I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Santa Jeffrey!

A truly great memory for you and your event with Santa. I take great pride in being Santa. I will always do my best to uphold the traditional values and goals we have all come to expect of him.
Even though no two visits or events are the same, there are things that Santa will almost always do when children are present: A big entrance of Santa Claus with jingling bells, his large red sack of surprises and possible presents, and of course a hearty “Merry Christmas” (all year around). There will be a time of meeting and greeting followed by gathering of the children around Santa in his chair. Then it’s time for everyone (yes adults too) to sing a couple Christmas favorites. And of course, everyone looks forward to sitting one on one, talking with Santa, possibly receiving a pre-arranged gift, and of course taking lots of pictures.
Depending on the arrangements and time some of the other things Santa can do are:
--Recite stories such as "The Night Before Christmas".
--Read a story (such as the book I wrote and published called "Santa's First All Night Flight).
--Play a reindeer game with the children
--Sing songs
--Have a cookies and milk party with the children
--And other things as imagined and discussed among Santa and the event coordinator.
Other types of activities that Santa Jeff will do are:
- Distribute gifts/awards at office/corporate events
- Photo shoots
- Parades (riding/walking greeting)
- Corporate sponsors
- Can be videoed for your event and business.
- Company/product advertisement
Yes, THE BEARD IS REAL.
As a full time Santa, I live it 365 days a year. Christmas to me is not just a season, or even just a day, but it is a Spirit that I hold in my heart year around. I try my best to always exhibit those traits that are so important; faith, hope, love, giving, and sharing.
As your Santa, I will work hard to give you, your family, and your guests the best Christmas and Santa memory possible. For the children, my goal is to help them continue to believe in all things Christmas and for the “mature” adult… to help them rekindle that child-like faith and to be able to see in their eyes that look that says they just took a mental trip back in time to their favorite Christmas.
I am a graduate of The Santa Claus Conservatory, CWH Santa School, and the Professional Santa Claus School.
In previous years I've had the privilege of being Santa for:
The Grand Hotel Resort (Marriott) in Fairhope, Alabama
Fox 10 News (see my videos)
Amazon (A community presentation)
Seward Farm in Mississippi
Mobile Symphony Orchestra
The Pillars
Herron Lakes Country Club
English Learning Foundation School
Various local churches
Several schools in Mobile and Baldwin county Ohio
Marcie & Me Boutique
Many home visits and parties
I have different types of suits so we can find just the type you’d like for your event. Even my new “fall fashion for Santa” with red knickers and vest and complimenting shirt.
Since I am a full time Santa, I am available year around for any event in which you’d like to experience Santa and Spirit of Christmas. Christmas in July activities, birthdays, children’s parties, photo shoots, store advertisements and corporate events and just about any type of activity you can think of.
Be on the lookout for me. It is likely that you will see me in local stores dressed in some type of Santa-like clothing and colors. I often wear a pouch with little trinkets that I give to children (of all ages) who recognize me and have that look of belief and wonderment in their eyes. It’s as if their eyes are saying, “Could it be him”? I give them a wink and hand them a trinket and wish them an early “Merry Christmas”.
I really enjoy Christmas time to its fullest too. At my home (the one in the North Pole, and my off season home here), I have a Christmas light display with about 10,000 lights and synchronized music. (Don’t ask when I start decorating, you wouldn’t believe it).
When people see my white beard and hair, I am often asked, "do you play Santa?" My answer to that is a resounding "No, I am Santa" 24/7/365. I am Santa in my neighbor hood, I am Santa at my church, and I am Santa anytime you see me out and about.
And after you read all this, I hope to be YOUR Santa too!
I would invite you to join me in living out the words of Charles Dickens, “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." ― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Considering the suit, a cooler room, or a fan, and water to drink is always helpful.
If there is a professional photographer or video crew, a copy of those items need to be made available to me to be used in my advertising.

Santa get's quite warm during inside events, so a fan and some water go a long way. Also a firm, but comfortable chair is best for Santa to talk with children.
