Santa showed up on time and was so wonderful. My grandkids were mesmerized. His costume was perfect and he told stories and we a lot of pics with the kids and the adults. He was patient and kind and we will definitely work with him again next year. Thank you!

I can’t describe in words how I felt when I saw my son’s eyes when he realized that Santa was actually coming through our back patio and dropping of the presents under tree for him... It Was Perfect!!!!! Your bells, your glowing fingers, your glasses, your outfit, every little detail was perfectly beautiful! I felt like a kid again.

Once again our Christmas party was made with a visit from Sanford Santa. This year he told a magical story that captivated all of our guests ages 4-65! We would recommend him to everyone! A true star! Thank you for helping us all believe in the magic of Christmas.
Would recommend for any event all ages. Professional Santa
Sanford Santa was everything I wished for and more. Our family Christmas gathering is an annual event. Approximately 30 of us, ages 1 1/2 years young to 86 years old. Santa was to arrive at 1:30 and he pulled into the driveway exactly at that time. When he walked into the party room and surprised everyone, the roar of excitement was unbelievable. Santa told a story about how it is possible for him to successfully complete his mission to all the boys and girls on Christmas Eve. He had the whole group participating in his story. He asked the little children to come up and sit on his lap and after a brief chat, he had them telling him what they wished for him to bring them on Christmas morning. Even the adults were making Christmas wishes. Santa's outfit was professional, his voice was what you would expect from Santa, he had real jingle bells, we sang a song. After several pictures and selfies, he left with a "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night." A very professional Santa.
He had the kids captivated by his story and he was so personal with everyone at the party.

Santa was awesome! The kids loved him and so did our employees!
We had a spectacular Christmas party with family and friends and it wouldn't have been the same without a visit from Santa! He was gentle and thoughtful and made our holiday extra special. I would highly recommend inviting Sanford Santa to your next holiday event. He was truly wonderful!

I am a highly interactive Santa. I Love interacting with everyone.
I'm also an avid story teller. Spend time with Santa where he will share stories and tales of the North Pole. You may learn what makes reindeer fly, how Santa named each reindeer that pulls his sleigh, how Rudolph got is red nose and more.
Have been known to lead a Christmas son or two even though I am not the best singer.
What does your child remember about their last visit with Santa. This year you have choice between the mall or a private visit from Santa that they will remember well after Christmas has passed.
