December 25, 2025Simply Awesome
World filled with negativity and time of unrest. SANTA Ted brought magic, excitement, and positive Christmas atmosphere. My Grandkids where simply amazed. My daughter and Santa arranged for my wife and I to watch from afar with Google Meet. It was simply awesome. Thank you Santa Ted for a lifetime memory!

Hi Clarence,
Thank you for having me as Santa for your grandkids and your daughter’s family on Christmas Eve. The kids were thrilled to meet Santa and had many questions. After sharing a story and taking photos, we opened presents together, ensuring everyone waited to open theirs at the same time. I enjoyed spending time with them before leaving.
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!
Best,
Santa Ted
