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)

Warm, kindly Santa Claus

Santa Tom was terrific! He arrived with his Santa gift sack which we loaded for our 4 grandkids. He charmed everybody with Santa and Elf stories. He answered all our Claus questions. He was cautious with the 2 wee ones, and then gave out presents and they gave him hugs. Great photos and warm memories. A sincere man and a great Santa.

We loved having Santa Tom at our Holiday Party!

Santa Tom was a pleasure to work with for our annual Ugly Sweater holiday party. He was very easy to coordinate plans with prior to the event, showed up on time, in character. All of our guests loved taking photos with him. We would highly recommend Santa Tom for any holiday party and we will definitely work with him again.

Wonderful time

Tom is the best Santa. I recommend for everybody. On time, told a history to our kids, brought the gifts and the kids had so much fun that is hard to describe.
