Overview
Professional Santa for all occasions.
I am a "Real Beard" Santa with more than 16 years of experience being a professional Santa in the Kansas City Metro area. I look forward each year to going to Schools, Parties, Christmas Events, Parades, Church Events, Early Education Childhood Centers, Daycare Centers, Fund Raising Events, and Private Home Visits to visit with children of all ages (age 1-99). I have a professional backdrop available (if needed) for Christmas photos, a Christmas themed rug and decorations, and Elf helpers to take family photos.
If you are looking for a "Jolly Ol' Santa" for your event, I would love to have the opportunity to bring Santa to your children and loved ones.

David was amazing with children and adults alike. Jolly, happy and glad to be here. He arrived ready to go. He looked over the area, asked a couple of questions and was set. We had a quick touch base the day before to review arrival. He was wonderful and I would be happy to have him back again!

This event was a corporate event with over 400 guests and 200+ children. Heather, and the rest of the employees at the event were very easy to work with and the young ladies they had taking pictures were incredible. It was a great Christmas event, and I enjoyed taking pictures with employees, and the families and children who attended.

At this event, Santa Claus David T's "children" are of a slightly different age but still are children at heart. Santa brings out the smiles and the laughter, and for a brief while, you can forget your aches and pains, the stress and worry and just be joyful and worry free. Santa does that the second he walks in the door. We are truly blessed to know and love Santa David.
Santa Claus David T has been invited and has accepted many of our holiday gatherings, so the date listed below is the most current, until a few months from now when we joins us again!

This is one of my favorite gigs that I do each year at Christmas Time. The average age for this group is in the 70+ years range, and all of them love getting their picture taken with Santa. I even have a few that sit with me and tell me what they want for Christmas. It’s all in fun, and these wonderful seniors are very appreciative of my time there, and, of course, they all get candy canes and a Jolly HO HO HO!

August 1, 2024We Love Santa Claus Dave!
Dave visits our early childhood program which consists of about 120 children 5 and under. He spends time with each child who would like to talk with him, but also respects those children who may be a bit more shy. It is an exciting day when Santa comes to visit!

He brought so much joy and warmth to the families, taking the time to pose for photos with each child and making everyone feel special. His cheerful spirit and professional demeanor added a magical touch to the day, creating lasting memories for everyone involved. We truly appreciate his dedication and kindness. Highly recommend Santa Claus David T for any event—he’s truly the real deal!

What to expect
What you can expect when you hire me as your Santa:
When I put on my Santa Claus outfit and associated apparel, I become "Santa" and prepare myself to act and be Santa Claus for the children and adults that expect to have someone who knows the part. This does not mean that I can just show up and expect them to like anyone who puts on a costume.
I pride myself on my craft and learn not only how to greet children, but to know how to greet all the different children, teenagers, and young adults that are hoping to see the "real" Santa Claus. I also need to prepare myself for how many children I can expect at each event. This can vary from just a few to several hundred children. I look forward each year to going to Schools, Parties, Christmas Events, Corporate Events, Parades, Church Events, Early Education Childhood Centers, Daycare Centers, Fund Raising Events, Photo Shoots, and Private Home Visits to visit with children of all ages (age 1-99).
This whole process begins about 8 to 9 months before Christmas. For me, I have to make sure I groom myself with a real "Santa" beard, a clean Santa Suit and Hat (I have three sets), and have professional Santa chair, benches for the children to sit on, Christmas decorations, "letters to Santa" printed up and a Santa mailbox for the children to put them in. Candy canes for all who want them, and a "Santa Crew" (helpers and elves) to help me with checking in the children who wants to tell me their "Santa List" and with set up and tear down of my Santa set.
Beyond that, I need to know the history of Saint Nicholas, and Santa Claus, and the many names he is known by around the world. I need to know how Christmas Trees came to be, and when they were first decorated and why.
Being a Santa performer is a great honor and privilege for me each year, something I look forward to. As a "senior Santa" (I'm retired) I am proud to say that I have been "Santa" for over 18 years in the Kansas City and surrounding Metro area. There's a lot more to this continuous performance than meets the eye. I take it seriously and with great pride. I work hard to make sure I bring the spirit, sanctity and expectations of Christmas to all that want me to be their Santa for the Christmas season.
