Kringle (Santa Claus)

With me, Santa has come to town. If there are babies, I hold them and try to make their future Christmas’s be a fun and nice thing. If they are 2-4 I try to let them not cry by laughing and talking with them. If the alley are older kids, from 6-16 I work and stay talking to them to make it a correct and awesome thing. If they are adults I tease and play, and try to have a laughing good time !

I have been Santa Claus throughout the last 50 years. I love the kids. Whether they be happy, or wildly crazy with fear, I do my best to show them the Santa Claus that I would like to have had. The kids are the greatest creatures, and keeping them happy is my number one goal.

I cannot provide my own chair! There are some times I can get by on a folding chair, a couch, a home chair, etc…. It is not difficult to make this easy for both of us.

I try to keep the visits at a minimum, for instance; if I am visiting one to three children, I keep the visit down to approximately 20 minutes. I love keeping the “mystery” of Santa alive. The little guys have too good of head on them to want to ask questions and make it uncomfortable for themselves.

For photographers, the best thing I have done is keep the photo time to approx 10 minutes. This keeps Santa alive and the little children happy. I can do several kids a day in a photo shoot. I love doing this and making them happy!
