Overview
Hello Folks! I am a Santa that is a bit childish, loves fun and people. There is always room for a little magic and fun with every encounter. Like Santa, I am eternal optimist with a big heart! -there is joy in being cheerful and upbeat.
In more down to earth less exciting facts, I belong to the New England Santa Society, and the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santa's. I have learned about refining my skills be attending Santa Camp (yes, there is such a thing) and Christmas Performers Workshops.
I can visit your home, organization or business to provide to bring some Christmas spirit and a bit of fun. Being a grandfather has given me the joy of entertaining for all ages!

December 16, 2025Santa Jim created an experience that was exceptional!
Santa Jim joined our childcare center for a photo opportunity and festive sing-alongs, and the experience was exceptional. He was incredibly accommodating throughout the event and made every child and caregiver feel genuinely seen and valued through his engaging verbal interactions. Santa Jim struck the perfect balance between professionalism and holiday cheer, and his ability to read the room and respond thoughtfully made the experience truly memorable.

What to expect
If you are looking for a right jolly old elf - lets talk
For events we can work up the guests with a Larger-than-life entrance followed by some call and response activities to get the folks going!
We can get some Christmas songs going (I will drag you in to that session) and some story telling (lots of options there)
And having photos with the Jolly ol' elf is a must!
If presents are being handed out, let me know, because that is Santa's primary role!
Photographers: If you are looking to set up some sessions, there are several suit options as well. Kids are great, we can work some options as well
In either case, a 60 minute minimum session is required!
Hope to hear from you
About
Hi folks! My Name is Santa Jim, I am a jolly ol' soul and real bearded Santa located in Southeastern Massachusetts. My skills come from two weekends at Santa Camp Hosted my the New England Santa Society, and augmented by session from Santa True at a Christmas Performers Workshop.
I really enjoy the joy and energy of children, regardless of age (I never grew up myself - lol)
The fun part of this all is practicing with my grandchildren (ages 4 to 9) to see their reactions to story telling and jokes (non-Santa suit, of course)
Lets set up times - we can do some call and response sessions, maybe some improv, some story telling and some SINGING! ( my favorite)
I am fortunate enough to also be part of a small group of Christmas performers that meet monthly to practice our characters and to help each other learn.
Other affiliations are the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santa's (yes - that is a thing)
So, send me a message and plan your next Holiday gathering!
Additional booking notes
Some requirements (yeah, boring details)
For sitting with the youngsters, a bench is always a great option, that way they can sit aside of Santa which is great for pictures.
Speaking of pictures, Lighting! Please ensure there is sufficient lighting as my suit is more burgundy in color.
And a follow on to the suit - It is HEAVY, so maybe some cooler air in the room would be appreciated. My suit is designed for open sleigh activities !
