I could not have been more disappointed with this Santa appearance. He showed up on time and well communicated which I appreciated. However, when he showed up his belt wasn’t even tied just hanging at his waist, he hadn’t looked the 5 gifts over to see the children’s names prior so he stumbled through. He did offer photo ops to everyone which was expected but $100 for each 10 minutes for this dull, unexcited, put off performance I would never recommend. I’ve used Santa visits prior and will not be using or recommending this one in the future.

Response from Santa Claus Jay:
I am very sorry. Yes, during the confusion in your yard my jacket belt did come unhooked. I have not required labels to be on gifts, but I will for in the future.

Was not at all like others I’ve had before. Did not engage with kids we had to tell him to say something pretty much just was sitting there had no excitement very dull and disappointing. Would never use him again

Santa Jay did a great job with our 13 grandchildren! He arrived on time (actually early, but contacted me and waited till we had the kids ready) - passed out a gift for each child that I had prepared and posed for pictures with everyone. Would definitely recommend.
Santa Claus Jay communicated well and was wonderful with our small family and friends gathering. He was a great Santa and it was like visiting with an old friend. We would absolutely have him back. Merry Christmas!

HO, HO, HO, Mike. Thank you so much for the review. I enjoyed our visit and happy you did also. On my way up the driveway, I had thought perhaps it was a launch way. I wish everyone had a tree like yours
I look forward to hear from you again.

Santa Claus Jay arrived early at our event, and happily took pictures with the kids waiting outside! During the event he joyfully sat in his Santa Throne and took pictures for over a hundred kids and their families!

We had him come out to our small neighborhood Christmas party and he did an amazing job. Came early, was great with the kids and never complained even when it started raining.
We so amazing with staff and patients. Will use again next year. Brought up so many spirits ✨️

Santa was wonderful with the kiddos at the Oxford Community Arts Center for our annual OCAC Holiday Fest. He was so patient and kind with the kids, reading letters, taking pictures, and being his wonderful Jolly Self.
Hope to have him back next year!

Response from Santa Claus Jay:
HO, HO, HO, Heidi, thank you for a great review. I enjoyed the event and the guest. It seemed very well ran.
I would like to do it again. If possible, I though perhaps I could get there an hour early to look around. Also, if you had somebody show me around, perhaps they could take pictures for anybody interested. There would not be a charge for the hour I was looking around
Your Friend,
Santa Claus Jay
Santa came early and took pictures with the kids waiting outside. He then came into the parish center where he took hundreds of pictures with kids and adults! He took his time with every kid with conversations!
SANTA was so patient, caring and funny with the children and adults and the pets. It was a frosty 80 degrees and he never complained a out the heat....stayed in character til the end. It was an outside farmers market. Was very prompt and an absolute joy to work with
Highly recommend

THE HISTORY OF SANTA CLAUS
A long time ago in Europe, in an area now known as Turkey. There was a Christian Bishop, or Church leader who was Saint Nicholas during the time of the Roman Empire.
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. His reputation evolved among the Christian leaders and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave him rise to the title "Saint Nick" which then became Sinster Klaas, and finally now Kris Kringle or Santa Claus.
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.

Influences & Inspiration
I have been a dad since 1979 a preacher since 1999 and a pastor since 2009 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 and expected and deserved
