“I appreciated his positivity and jovial mood at our event. He was clearly a great act for our 7 year old and his friends. They loved the balloon swords. Thanks again, Jon! ”

Hello, you may call me Santa, Santa Claus, or Santa Shane.
Santa Shane travels from Wisconsin Dells to Madison to Milwaukee Wisconsin, and areas in-between. (I will travel further for special events.)
The in-home personal visits that Santa attends shouldn't take no more than 15 minutes up to 4 to 5 children. Possibly 20 minutes for up to six or eight children. Some weekend dates or certain popular times may be higher priced as demand goes up for weekends and popular times.

Santa was fantastic at our holiday party! His warm personality and authentic costume brought joy to everyone, especially the kids. He engaged with guests, creating wonderful photo opportunities and spreading festive cheer. He also brought Mrs. Claus which added to the fun! Highly recommend him for a magical Christmas experience!

About
Before I arrive to the Party, I call my contact to let them know I am about to arrive so they can get the people together inside the party.
Once I'm there, I like to enter the room with a big, Ho, Ho, Ho! As I sashe' around the room jingling my bells I like to assess how the children are accepting me. I do not like to approach them right away if they are afraid. I like to have the children that are afraid see other children either shake my hand or giveme a hug.
I also like to give special attention to senior adults because Santa brings back so many special memories for them and Santa affects them in so many different ways.
Then depending on the group that is in attendance, I sing songs, pass out presents and pose with the children or families for photographs.
I do travel from Mitchell International Airport(It is a good place to park my Sleigh) 5300 South Howell Avenue Milwaukee, WI 53207. In November and December my range of travel is only 30 miles depending on how full my schedule is.

Influences and inspiration
I was an elf in training for 31 years. My first year putting on the Santa suit was 2006(and it fit like a glove). I had been helping my parents for 31 years bring joy into peoples lives.
I have to tell you the story about how my father started portraying Santa Claus. We were at a friends family farm in Indiana. My father was asked to play Santa while we were at the party. Not being prepared at all the family had a fake beard, a Santa coat and a baseball cap. My father put it on and Santa Martin was born. He had portraid Santa for 31 years, my mother portraid Mrs. Claus for the last 23 years. Due to health reasons they both had to stop after Christmas 2005.
Over the years of helping my parents, I have watched them and learned from them how to be a fantastic Santa. My Dad started with that fake beard and baseball cap and turned his outfit into a Beautiful, complete Santa suit, with his real beard that he would start growing from the beginning of Summer so it would be just right for Christmas. My father "became" Santa when he wore the suit with his jolly attitude, and I enjoy taking over that tradition, and seeing smiling faces in children of ALL ages and bringing the wonder of Christmas to everyone.
