Santa Rob of Nashville

Top notch outfits to present visually the wonder of Santa at work, at play, at table in order to facilitate memorable photos and memories.
This Santa and Mrs. Claus sing all the familiar Christmas carols, work with puppets, tell stories of work at the North Pole, read stories of Christmas from years past and from around the world, answer all pertinent Christmas questions.
We are outfitted to do events such as Breakfast with Santa, Cookies with Santa, Christmas in July and/or other summer occasions where Santa in a throwback swimsuit or even a baseball uniform would be appropriate.
I am not opposed to allowing parents to use their camera phones to take as many pictures as they wish. The exception to this would be if a professional photographer has been contracted with to handle all the Santa photos. No selfies or parent picture taking would be allowed in that case.

My wife and I are retired. I am a veteran and retired after 30 yrs combined service in the Coast Guard & CG Reserve. Am also retired after 20 yrs delivering the mail for the USPS. My wife has 40 yrs experience as an ASL Interpreter and as the after school programs director with a local non-profit serving the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community in Nashville TN.
Mary and I just celebrated our 46th anniversary in April. We have two grown children: Adam(44) and Mary Katherine(42). We are blessed with 9 grandchildren. Adam gave us 4 boys and 1 girl; Mary Kate 2 boys and 2 girls. Everyone lives in Middle Tennessee; a real blessing from God.
My interest in portraying Santa came out of my letter carrier experience delivering packages to porches in December those many years. I was hooked when the preschoolers would come to the door with their parent and see my beard(much shorter then), my Santa hat….then the magic would happen. Their little eyes would get big and you just knew what they were thinking at that moment. Those were moments that captured my heart. Seeing the wonder in the eyes of those children hooked me, there’s no doubt.
I donned the Santa hat and wardrobe as an unpaid volunteer about 4 years and will now enter my second full season as a professional. I see my role as one who represents the true spirit of Christmas and seeks to express to all the importance of showing love, compassion, acceptance and willingness to share with others at the time of year set aside to celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Stage/platform to be decorated for Christmas; oversized Santa chair to be placed center stage/platform towards front of stage; hat/coatrack to be placed to Santa’s right and slightly behind his chair; traffic flow from stage right to stage left. If Mrs. Claus is present, her comfortable chair to be placed on Santa’s left. Adjustments to this configuration can be made to suit venue requirements.
