December 13, 2022Santa Michael is great!!
We loved having Santa Michael at our shop! Not only was he patient with every child, he was also kind enough to let some adults take pictures! We had so many compliments. One of our favorite reviews from a mom; "He is the most legit looking Santa I've seen all year." We will definitely book Santa Michael again next year!
