Overview

I am a professional Santa, attended the International School of Santa Claus, and along with my wife, Mrs. Claus, have entertained children of all ages throughout the Washington, DC area. We have entertained at the US Supreme Court, the Kennedy Center Christmas Program and the Children's Hospital National Medical Center. In addition, I make home visits and read to the children as well as appear at corporate events. Each year we appear with the Norwegian Embassy to light the tree at the Washington Union Station. Many photos and details about us can be found at my website, (link hidden)

Santa Tom saved the day!

Santa Tom graciously found a substitute Santa for our event when he learned that he had Covid. We are SO grateful and everything went smoothly at our event. Thank you Santa Tom for helping us out. We wish you a speedy recovery!

He is the REAL Santa

Santa Tom is the real deal. From moment one, he never communicated as anyone other than Santa, because, well, he IS the real Santa. He was communicative, punctual, and was everything you would hope he would be. Cannot recomment him more highly.

We were fortunate to select Santa Tom and Mrs. Claus for 4 days of engagements and I can honestly say, this is the REAL SANTA! They were just lovely and quite fun to work with. Everyone loved seeing them, real professionals with BIG HEARTS for KIDS of ALL AGES! Bravo, will never book another besides Sant Tom!

Santa Tom was great!

Santa Tom saved Christmas for our daycare children! This is the first year we had no tears during a Santa visit! He was great with the kids , animated and jovial and made our socially distanced pictures not feel so socially distanced. The kids aged 6 months to 4 years loved him.

Thank you for helping bring the spirit of Christmas during this most unusual year.

The Real Santa!

I hired Santa Tom for a photography event. Santa Tom exceeded my expectations and I’m convinced he’s the real Santa! He was wonderful with the children and the parents had nothing but good things to say, noting that he was the best Santa their child had ever visited with. I’m already planning on hiring Santa Tom for my Christmas event next year!

Response from Santa Tom:

While not appearing at a scheduled event caused great disappointment to many families and the children especially, there is no excuse. In my twenty years visiting children throughout the Washington, DC area, I have never missed a scheduled event. I wish I could say I am perfect, but I know of only one who truly is, Our Lord, whose birth we celebrate in December.

Wonderful Christmas Eve visit with Santa Tom!

Absolutely wonderful. He spent longer than anticipated with all of the kids. He was spot on. As the 9yo said, "Lots of kids at school were saying Santa isn't real... I guess I was starting to believe them. But now I have proof that Santa is real! I even have a picture of him at my house!"

A completely magical evening and Santa Tom was incredible.

Santa Tom-the true Santa Claus!

Santa Tom was amazing! He was wonderful with both children and adults. The children were ages 1-9 and he engaged with each one on their own level. Beautiful suit, carefully manicured and handsome beard, just the way you expect Santa to be. He answered questions and even brought magic with his naughty or nice meter. So much fun for all. I love Gigsalad. I have used them for years on the east and west coasts snd never been disappointed.
