Santa Jolly Jim
Overview
Yes, my beard and mustache are real. I've been a Santa since 2016. I enjoy home visits with children, corporate parties, and church and school events. I'm a retired minister, and I loved working with children throughout my career. I've been a Santa on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad's popular North Pole Adventure for the last three years. I'm a graduate of the School for Santas, which has trained thousands of Santas. My wife is a retired elementary school teacher, and we have three children and four grandchildren. I've been a Gigsalad Top Performer for several years.
