December 23, 2020Holiday Cheer at its Best
Smitty Clause brought much needed holiday joy and smiles to the faces of not only our youngest, but also our oldest children. He was professional and easy to communicate with. He is the perfect addition to any holiday! Also got our daughter cleaning her room last night.

December 7, 2025Fantastic
Smitty Clause was outstanding. His real beard, warm energy, and effortless way with kids made our one-year anniversary open house feel truly special. He greeted every family with genuine joy, stayed fully in character, and created unforgettable moments for our members. Highly recommended for any event that needs a Santa who feels absolutely authentic.

What to expect
You can expect a jolly and fun loving, naturally bearded Santa. I have the ability to adapt to a wide variety of situations and people. From sitting with the kids and getting their wish list, reading The Night Before Christmas, to singing Christmas carols. Of course there are the photos, most events tend to spend about half the time taking photos, which I enjoy immensely. If it is a lively enough crowd, I may teach them the Santa Boogie.
About
I have been Smitty Clause since 2010. I did not choose to a Santa, I feel that I was chosen. I have a real beard and I don't dye my hair or beard. I am generally good natured person that loves to bring joy to others. The majority of the revenue that I receive go towards my charity, Clause With a Cause. We are a 501c organization, therefore my fee/donation are tax deductible. The majority of those funds are used to buy Christmas gifts for the women and children in the shelters at the Domestic Violence Resource Center in northern Nevada. We receive a list of wants and needs for 50 - 80 women and children and we fulfill their needs. We also give assistance to other local charitable organization as well. Despite the fact that I receive no monetary compensation, this is the most rewarding thing that I have ever done. If you are looking for a real, honest to goodness Santa, I am your guy. I will bring joy and magic to your event while being kind, respectful and polite.
Additional booking notes
If you want to do photo sessions, I would suggest a festive back drop and an overstuffed chair.
