Smart Car Santa was amazing!

Our experience with Smart Car Santa was wonderful. He was engaging and very kind with our guests, specially with the children.
The reading of a Christmas story, allowing the children to participate in the reading was just priceless.
Thank you Santa from the bottom of our hearts.
Can't wait for the next opportunity to have you at our home again.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Awww, thank you so much. I'll admit I was really nervous at first because I don't do to many adult holiday parties (if they are all this easy I'm going to start being jolly for more of them) but you made me feel very comfortable. Thank you for making it a breeze

What to expect

I real bearded, warm jovial Santa. I'm very accepting and funny. I make children as well as adults let down their guards and free their inner child

About

How this usually happens is Santa will come and surprise everyone by getting caught red handed delivering presents outside (you'll leave a bag of them outside for me) I'll be invited in and everyone that wants to tell me what they want for Christmas can. I'll tell stories and lead a sing along, we can read a Night Before Christmas and I'll answer any questions they have. I'm open If you have any other ideas or suggestions that you think everyone will enjoy. Photography and video is strongly encouraged

Additional booking notes

Nice comfy chair is all Santa needs. Milk and cookies?
