Overview

I am one of Santa's helpers that brings happiness, joy, and good feelings during this time of year.
I love children and love bringing happiness and joy to others. I have a matching Santa bag, real boots and a real leather belt with a large SC belt buckle. I don’t use the vinyl shoe cover boots or vinyl belt. My goal is to satisfy your holiday wants and requests.
I do not charge per hour, but per event. We talk about what you want and a price. Sometimes things go longer or shorter and by event is fairer.
I also do not book Sundays.

Above and beyond

Santa Mick quite literally saved Christmas. A friend of mine lost her son this December and Santa Mick went clear out of his way to make Christmas special for his 4-year old daughter. She had previously been turned away from a mall Santa and didn’t think it would happen this year. Finding Santa Mick on such short notice was a miracle. Him going above and beyond to make this year special for a grieving family is a gesture that will never be forgotten. Thank you for being the most magical Santa of all! 🎅 🥹❤️

AMAZING!

Santa Mick came to our family Christmas Party. The kids loved him. He was amazing, after he left the party everyone was asking where I found him. My family thought he done a great job. Thank you Santa Mick!

Santa Mick was great!

Santa Mick showed up on time and was very professional. He gave out presents to the kids at our party and even told them a story. He also came with candy canes and other treats for the kids.

What to expect

All clients can expect for Santa to arrive early, clean and well dressed in a clean and well maintained suit. Santa will also arrive sober, and ready to entertain boys, girls, and children of all ages. All client's are encouraged to tell me exactly what they want so that Santa can arrive and know what is expected of him, and Santa will do all he can to surpass those expectations. I have a Santa bag, so I can deliver gifts that client's might have. I take pride in what I do, and will do all I can to be the very best Santa that has ever been to the client's event.

About

My name is Mick Rasband and I work as a part time Santa. I have experience working with children, as I was a security officer for a children’s hospital. I love children and being Santa allows me to experience the love and joy of this season, especially with the children.
A planner can expect me to be very punctual, to perform this responsibility in a manner that is second to none. I will provide whatever service the client wishes whether it be a quick pop in, or a detailed encounter that includes me delivering gifts and doing pictures. I will be a jolly Santa, and will make the children happy, and the parents believe!

I can do most anything you would like Santa to do. I can take photos with kids, adults, or even for family pictures. I do have a bag that matches my suit so I can bring in some preplanned gifts or treats like lollipops or candy canes. I can tell stories about the North Pole, reindeer, Christmas Magic, toy making or elves, and other stories. I try to give a good positive message when speaking to the kids.. I can also do other activities, if you are interested just ask.

I do not charge by the hour, I charge by the event. We plan out the event and that is what you pay for, not a block of time. I think this is more fair for the planner. We discuss what you want, and that’s what I do regardless of time.

Additional booking notes

A chair for Santa to sit in is always appreciated. Other than that I have no real special needs.

Set list

I have a Halco Majestic Santa suit that includes rich thick plush pile suit coat, pants and hat with a pompom. This is the suit that the real Santa wears in my humble opinion. I also have white gloves. I have real Santa boots with white faux fur trim. I also have a custom leather belt with a brass buckle that says, “SC” . I do have a wig and beard set, which also come from Halco. I also have a Majestic Santa bag, which is the same color and fabric as the suit. Santa also wears some prescription glasses. My boots and belt are not the black Naugahyde shoe covers, they are real boots, and my belt is also real thick leather, not Naugahyde.

Influences and inspiration

Working security with children was a magnificent experience, and one I treasure. The first time I played Santa I was hooked. I was a last minute stand in Santa for an employee's family Christmas party. It was just an excellent experience and made me happier than the children I think. I love children, and making them happy is always a great thing. Interacting and listening to the kids is an honor and an awesome experience.
