Festive and Fun!

Santa Chris was awesome! Traveled far to help me with a very last minute request. He was loved by the kids and adults alike! Very friendly and approachable and treated everyone like they were old friends. Definitely will be booking him again!

Santa is coming to town

Easy to make arrangements as we started for an out-of-town family gathering. Santa made it with no problems (something unique in our family, there are always issues), was on time, well prepared, and a totally enjoyable event. Santa handled the one 'non-believer' like a pro, and the 10-year-old was having second thoughts about believing in the real thing.

Thank you for the amazing words Jay, I loved being included in your family and it was amazing. The cookies were a sweet spot and were great! The grandkids and great grand kids were the best. Even with the non believer and the 10 year old they were fun to interact with and talk to. Merry Christmas to everyone there!

Best Santa!

Chris was early to the event and saw that there were kiddos waiting out front so he called and asked if he should come around the back which was perfect!

This event was for a non profit that serves vulnerable populations and Chris was so good with the kids and families- it was clear he just truly believes in the spirit of Christmas!

What to expect

I do everything I can't, provide candy canes and potentially will do gift gives. Parties, events, all experiences and willing to move around and be interactive.

About

Disabled veteran who loves being Santa. I am very active with kids and don't just sit in the chair. I try and get on their level and make them feel comfortable and in control of the situation. I ask before picking them up, touching them, or having any contact with them. I enjoy bringing smiles and seeing the shy children come out of their shells.
I am fairly quick to answer those who say I am not santa and I never promise a present with out knowing if it is already a guarantee. Santa always knows what a child's heart really wants.
I try to bring love and and laughter into the season and make everyone leave feeling happy and having a good time.
I have a set up that, with help and the use of my phone I can take pictures and print photos, that fee can be discussed at booking time or on site but I woild need help as I am a 1 man Santa show.
