March 9, 2026The best!!
We had Santa Jay as our Santa for my company's 'Santa at the Movies' event this past December and while this review is long over due, I can't properly express how amazing he was! From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative throughout the booking process and in the weeks leading up to the event. During the event itself, he was absolutely wonderful with the kids and brought such a warm, genuine presence that really made the experience special for everyone. He was also so patient and understanding of the chaos that comes with running an event, which we truly appreciated. Santa Jay helped make the day memorable for so many kiddos and their families, and I couldn’t recommend him more if you’re looking for a fantastic Santa to visit during the holidays! Definitely booking with him again in the future!

December 19, 2025Great Santa!
Santa came out in the snow to bring joy to a group of children in a private home. Definitely brought joy to the event and the children. Would recommend to anyone who needs a Santa.

THE HISTORY OF SANTA CLAUS
Santa Claus is a jolly, white-bearded man in a red suit who deliver gifts to children around the world.
Christmas is about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Santa Claus is one of the most recognized
symbols of the Christmas season. He of course had a love for our Lord Jesus, and also for children.
He helped Children know our Lord Jesus and gave out gifts and became known as the patron saint of children.
Born in Europe, in an area now known as Turkey. He became a Christian Bishop, or Church leader
who was Saint Nicholas during the time of the Roman Empire.
Santa Claus started as Saint Nicholas of Myra, a revered 4th-century Christian bishop known for his generosity, who eventually evolved into the Santa Claus you recognize today. Born to a wealthy Christian family, and his parents raised him to be devout in his Christian faith. His parents died, leaving him with a substantial inheritance, that he used to help others. Nicholas soon gained a reputation for his generosity and kindness. He was known for acts of charity that he often performed secretly, emphasizing humility in giving. This inspired future traditions of gift-giving and became one of the earliest associations between Saint Nicholas and Christmas.
Additional booking notes
I have experienced many things during my years as Santa Claus and very adjustable, so whatever works best for you, I am comfortable with. I am happy to call children by name as long as you provide it to me before we start. Also, one of the joys of being Santa is to pass out gifts. For this, I need you to plainly put the name on the gift or assist me with giving out the gifts.
If you want to do a setup, something like I'm in the middle of Workshop, or something with lots of Christmas decorations, but I come with my own suit, my hair is natural, so I can even do a simple setup in a single chair.
If you want a backdrop. I have a 10 ft by 8 ft back drop. it is a Stone fireplace with a Christmas tree on each side. It is on a 11 ft pipe. You would have to have a place to hang it before I got there. What seems to work best is tall bookshelves, or hooks on a wall that has been cleared of everything. It is $40 for me to bring the backdrop, and we can NOT use it outside.

Set list
I have my Santa Bag for toys. Also, I have books for stories, and for the Nice List.
I provide music sheets in hopes others will sing Rudolph with me.
Also, have some small items to give out to the children.
I have a 10 by 8 ft back drop of a stone fireplace with a Christmas Tree on each side. It is $30 for me to bring this.
Influences and inspiration
I have been a dad since 1979, a preacher since 1999, a pastor since 2009, and Santa since 2010. I have a great love for children and I have seen many Santa Claus that I didn't feel lived up to who Santa Claus is, so 2010 I decided to be the Santa Claus that the children were looking for, expected, and deserved
Setup requirements
If you want the Backdrop, I must have 2 people to help with set-up and take-down.
