This is the magic of Christmas.
NOTE: We have recently moved to Gallatin/Nashville, TN area.
I am a professional Santa portray-er who, along with my Mrs. Claus, loves entertaining children and adults through home visits, private or corporate parties, and other Christmas themed activities.
There are games, stories to read, and fun for the children, even the children at heart. My beard is real so you get the real deal here.
Mrs. Claus helps me on our visits. She is a wonderful Mrs. Claus who interacts especially with the smaller children who may be a little reluctant with just Santa.
You might want to consider getting one or two families together for your Christmas Party with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

December 16, 2024We had such a fantastic time with Santa and Mrs. Claus. All of the children had a wonderful experience. Santa was very attentive and asked each child what they wanted for Christmas while Mrs. Claus read stories. We will definitely be reaching out again next year.

I usually make a grand entrance to listen to the wish lists of the children and take photo ops, play games, and read stories. I can pass out presents (provided by the parents or event planners) you may have for the children. If a corporate event I can pass out presents, door prizes, or bonuses, and mix and mingle with the guests. You can also hire Mrs. Santa who will read books to the children and take photo ops as well.
I began my professional Santa career in 2016 as a real-bearded Santa. And, everyone familiar with me knows I am a jovial and caring individual with a warm, teddy bear-like personality. I decided to be Santa after a few other Santa's suggested that I should be and the time was right.
I am available for in-home visits, company parties, fund-raisers, parades, hospital and assisted living appearances, and other events. I am background checked and fully insured.
Experience: I have been involved in three Santa Schools to learn as much as I can to be a Professional Santa. I have worked with Nationwide Santas to sit in the chair and see the children, and adults, at Bass Pro Shop in the Pyramid in Memphis, TN for three years. I have done virtual visits through Visit With Santa. I have also done home visits as well as corporate appearances.
I also work as a team with my Mrs. Claus. Her experience as a teacher, for over 40 years, in Elementary, Junior High, and High School gives her the ability to interact with all the children. She is especially able to draw the younger children, who might be a little reluctant to sit with Santa, to get them to be more comfortable with her and usually will then come to me for pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Locations: Santa John will make appearances throughout Gallatin and Hendersonville, Tennessee, and beyond with special arrangements.
Depends on the venue. Will need a slightly cooler room and possibly a fan if stationary. Will need a chair, without arms, for photo ops.

I was contracted by Nationwide Santas to sit in the Chair in the Bass Pro System for 4 years. I have also had numerous in-home visits as well as corporate visits.
Depends on the gig
