Went above and beyond!

Santa John was amazing! We hired him to be Santa at our on base school of 500 kids. He walked around the classrooms and interacted with all the children. The kids were thrilled to see him as he spread his Christmas joy! He has the look of Santa and even the voice, definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a Santa.

Visiting the children, teachers and parents at this school was the highlight of Santa's season. The children were such great fun and Santa met each one. Even the 6th graders enjoyed their Santa visit. Thanks, Santa John

Santa John was great!

Everyone Loved him! He had wonderful entrance and the kids adored him. Would perhaps like him to read from the actual story book "Twas the Night Before Christmas" next time and maybe engage the children in some Christmas songs. Other than that, he was a really authentic Santa.

About

Santa John is a retired Occupational Therapist who served pediatric patients in hospitals and homes for 20 years. He was Santa at the ripe age of 7 as documented in family photos being Santa to his little brother. While working in hospitals, he was routinely used as Santa during Christmas season due to his natural demeanor for the role. He is a sensitive caring man and Jolly in his demeanor. His story telling is animated and engaging, keeping kids involved. He has his own special items that can be requested: a special Santa chair and a ringing tree of Christmas songs. Santa also enjoys singing and get a group sing going.
You'll enjoy taking a look at his website; (link hidden). There, you can find other ways of having interactions with Santa via video through Skype or Face Time with Santa at home and in his workshop. Another fun way of communicating directly with Santa is to send him your Christmas list by mail and getting a hand written letter back from Santa on his special stationary and from the North Pole.
