Santa, is Ed Humphreys, look no further!

Santa Ed Humphreys, simply put, is the real deal, in and out of his Santa suit, made only for him! The event I had the privilege of meeting/working with Santa Ed, he continually displayed his outstanding jolly ole' personality, never breaking from "character" because he is "Santa", while radiating good will. Santa Ed genuinely listens to the children, and adults, putting everyone at ease. Santa Ed, truly embodies the Santa experience, leaving everyone with a sense, you actually are in the presence of Santa, direct from the North Pole. His presence makes for a truly memorable experience! Once again, you will definitely want the real deal, the absolute realest Santa ever, and this is Santa Ed Humphreys!! You will not be disappointed, "believe" me! We would definitely rehire Santa Ed for any upcoming Christmas holiday party!!

About

Santa Ed is a grandfatherly Santa who loves to talk with children, hear their wishes, and hear them laugh. He knows the importance of reading and loves to read and tell stories to groups of children. In addition to asking what each child wants for Christmas, Santa Ed will probably ask a child what books they most enjoy reading. He is sensitive to those special requests that children will make sometimes and is patient with those needing a bit more understanding.
Santa Ed is a father of three and a grandfather to three. He is retired from the Army and from working as a Department of Army civilian, so he is familiar with the military lifestyle and demands.
Santa Ed will work with you to plan your event, large or small, family or professional, private or public, and how his presence can bring joy and happiness to all involved. Have a gift that can't wait until Christmas, one you know will be late, or a special surprise planned, let's talk about it. This Santa knows some presents require special handling and can make special deliveries.

Influences and inspiration

Edmund Gwenn from Miracle on 34th Street is one of my favorite Santa Claus characters. I have also been influenced by Tim Allen of The Santa Clause, and Ed Taylor, founder of The Worldwide Santa Claus Network (WSCN). I am a three year member of the WSCN and have participated in over 150 hours of training.

Setup requirements

Santa Ed will need a sturdy seat like a kitchen or dining room chair to sit in when holding children for pictures and listening to wishes.
