East Dallas Santa

Santa Brent appears at Tree Lighting events, in Parades, at Photographers shoots, or school festivals, church parties, home parties, corporate parties, retail promotions, any place where Santa is needed. He makes a grand entrance with his pack, greets attendees, jokes with everyone at the party, visits individually with children and poses for photos. He sometimes sings carols with the group, might play his ukulele, and tells a story. He sets up a remote and lights the Christmas tree, hands out gifts that the parents or event have provided. Each child receives a token from Santa, like a candy cane, jingle bell, snowflake, or special key. Mrs. Claus can come along and help with songs, gifts, and photos. Santa's home visit is usually about half an hour.

Santa Brent has been appearing as a professional Santa for 15 years. He wears a custom designed, embroidered suit and grows his own curly white beard. He belongs to Lone Star Santas and International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas, and has attended Schools for Santas, certifying with a Masters degree in Santa-ology. He is a real-life father of 4 and grandfather of 9. During the off-season, he enjoys turning wood on his lathe and creating unique artistic works from wood. He is active in church and is respected for his service in the community. He has a creative mind and writes original stories to tell all the children he meets at Christmas. There is a new story every year.

Santa Brent can bring his Big Red Chair for photos. He requires assistance to carry it in and out. Unless previously arranged that Santa will provide his backdrop, event planners will provide decorations, such as a tree, for photo set. For events that do not rent the Big Red Chair, a comfortable chair must be provided. Santa will not sit in a plastic school chair. If you want him to deliver gifts, they are usually left on the porch for homes, or loaded into his pack in advance of his entrance. For parades, he will be paid for the half hour he waits in advance. Any vehicles where he rides will need to be safe and secure. Areas where photos will be taken should be well-lit, but not back-lit. Temperatures need to be comfortable. If a large group of children is present, a microphone is required for story telling.
