We had Santa Bob at our home for a Christmas in July Birthday Party. The kids had such a great experience. He was so engaging. He told them stories, played games, and had answers for all their questions.
I was amazed how well he interacted with all our guests. I would definitely hire him again.

Bob and Donna joined us at a holiday event for our nurses!! They absolutely loved the opportunity to sit and talk with Santa and Mrs. Claus and to take a memorable photo! Excellent work!!

Sasha,
Thank you for the lovely review! It was really inspiring and humbling for us to meet so many dedicated and selfless ‘angels’ last night. Santa Bob
I couldn't have been more pleased. He was absolutely perfect, and made my clients very happy. I would definitely refer him to others, and use him again! THANK YOU!

Everyone loved Santa and was even posting wonderful things about him all night on social media. He even got on the floor and played with the little ones, sang songs and played games with them. I will be booking him next year.

Steve,
Thanks so much for the great review! And thank you for your familys help in unloading and loading all my stuff, you have no idea how much that is appreciated! I had a great time and really like your format. - Santa Bob
Santa took just the right amount of time with each child, giving each a very personalized experience. He was great with the adults also. I would highly recommend him.

Home Visits:
Santa Bob doesn't just sit down, hand out presents, read a poem and leave! With an extensive repertoire of songs, stories, props and magic, Santa Bob will customize his visit to delight everyone, not just the children!
1. Christmas Songs? Great! Santa Bob brings along karaoke-style backing tracks for the most popular Christmas songs.
2. Story time? Awesome! Santa Bob brings magical props to help illustrate some enchanting stories about Christmas and the North Pole such as:
- What happens if you catch Santa setting out the presents on Christmas Eve?
- Do you know the TRUE story of Rudolf and how he got his red nose? Forget the song and TV show!
- Ever wonder how reindeer fly? Where are Santa's reindeer now?
- What are in those caves under the North Pole? What does Fairy Dust have to do with Santa Claus?
- How does Santa get in my house if I don't have a chimney?
3. Want to play a game? Santa will show the kids how he trains new reindeer.... but he'll need volunteers to play reindeer ... oh don't worry, he brings the antlers with him for his trainees!
4. Want Santa to hand out presents! Great, it's pretty much what he does!! OH NO! There's a present missing!! Santa might have to call the North Pole on the speaker phone and talk to the elves about using the NPPT (North Pole Present Transporter) to magically transport that missing present!
5. Want to focus on your especially good children? Ask about "Santa's Secret File" A multi-page report from the North Pole that highlights each youngster (information filled out online BY YOU!). Includes a personal report, prep & landing report, 'Nice Certificate' and personalized letter from Santa.
6. Ever see Santa do the floss? Not pretty, lol. But great fun!!!
... and many many more.
