I portray and am a storytelling Santa Claus for Maryland, northern Virginia, and Washington, DC. I tell some stories from a traditional storytelling format, and others use various slight-of-hand tricks as aids. I bring candy canes with me (sugar-free candy also for diabetics) as well as red "Rudolph" noses for leading the group in a rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." I have a natural beard and my own padding. And most important of all, I have a genuine love for and concern toward children of all ages. Of course, I spend one-on-one time with the children for them to share with me their hopes and dreams. I travel to homes, businesses, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing homes

December 21, 2024Mr.John was amazing and kept the children engaged. I loved how realistic his Santa outfit was and how comfortable he made the children. I definitely recommend him we had a ball❤️🎄

December 8, 2023We've been using Santa John for a few years now and he never disappoints. He arrives before the event, and stayed until the last person in line goes. He always has a little something for each of the kids and spends a moment with each in conversation talking about what they'd like for Christmas. I highly recommend him! We can't wait to see him again next year!

December 8, 2023All the children were captivated and that's hard to do with toddlers. He defintely got adults and toddlers in the festive mood. Hire him you won't be disappointed.

September 26, 2022Santa John was Absolutely Spot On!!! We have a yearly Family getaway to a different place each year. This year was Washington! I have 5 grandchildren and Santa John shows up and the Kids plus Adults were All blown away by his surprise visit. Was Great with All the people there. If you are in the DC area and need a Real Santa then Santa John is ur Man. Still smiling inside at the smiles he created!!!
